Avondale, AZ Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

The City of Avondale's short-term rental program materials emphasize licensing, insurance, emergency contacts, neighbor notice and prohibition of parties, and do not advertise a dedicated short-term-rental parking ratio (such as one space per bedroom). In the absence of an STR-specific parking standard, guests at a licensed Avondale rental are governed by the same citywide rules that apply to any residence, including Avondale's traffic and parking regulations (the city's traffic code is at Chapter 23 of the City Code) and general residential parking limits on streets and yards. This approach is consistent with A.R.S. section 9-500.39, which prevents cities from singling out short-term rentals with restrictions not applied to comparable residential uses, while still allowing enforcement of generally applicable health, safety and nuisance rules. The ordinance's ban on events and parties indirectly limits the kind of heavy guest traffic that generates overflow and on-street parking complaints. Owners who want to avoid neighbor conflict typically state the number of on-site parking spaces in their listing and limit guest vehicles accordingly. For any property-specific parking requirement tied to the home's zoning, owners should confirm with the City of Avondale.
