Full Breakdown

040(A)(4) requires that if a short-term rental provides on-site parking spaces, the owner must submit a parking diagram or a photo showing those spaces with the initial operating license application. 070(F) then makes that same diagram an ongoing operating requirement: the parking diagram of the approved on-site parking spaces, if any, must be provided to tenants and kept available in a prominent location within the short-term rental dwelling, so guests know exactly which spaces the license covers. 070(D)(3), alongside the maximum occupancy and owner contact information. 080(A)(2) routes to the Police Department under BC Title 5. 090 if the City documents repeated, substantiated violations of the operating license's parking terms.

Violations & Fines

Failing to provide or post the required parking diagram, or allowing short-term rental guests to routinely exceed the approved on-site spaces, is a failure to meet the substantive operating standards in BC 7.16.070, enforceable as a civil infraction under BC 7.16.100 and grounds for the warning-and-revocation procedure in BC 7.16.090 if the City substantiates repeated complaints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Bend short-term rentals need a parking plan?

Yes, if the property offers on-site parking. BC 7.16.040(A)(4) requires a parking diagram or photo with the license application, and BC 7.16.070(F) requires the same diagram to stay posted inside the dwelling and be given to tenants throughout the license term.

Where do parking complaints about a Bend STR go?

Complaints about on-site parking are handled under the City's code enforcement authority tied to the property's land use approval, BDC 3.6.500, which is separate from the Bend Police Department process used for noise or disorderly-conduct complaints under BC Title 5.

What happens if guests park outside the approved spaces?

Repeated, substantiated parking violations can count against the operating standards in BC 7.16.070 and support a warning or revocation of the license under BC 7.16.090's escalating enforcement procedure.
