Biloxi's Land Development Ordinance Section 23-4-3(D)(10)e requires one on-site parking space per short-term rental unit or per bedroom, whichever is greater. Parking plus all structures on the STR lot may not exceed 60% lot coverage, and parking must be arranged in a style reflective of single-family residential use.
The City of Biloxi Short-Term Rental Requirements (Land Development Ordinance Chapter 23, Section 23-4-3(D)(10)e) state that parking shall be provided on site at a ratio of one space per unit or bedroom available, whichever is greater. A three-bedroom rental therefore needs at least three off-street spaces. The combined footprint of parking areas and all structures included as part of the short-term rental may occupy no more than sixty percent (60%) of the lot, preserving yard area and the residential character of the surrounding neighborhood. Parking must be arranged in a style reflective of single-family residential use, which typically rules out commercial-style striped lots. Compliance is verified during the Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Certificate of Occupancy review by the Biloxi Community Development Department prior to issuance, and again during annual Biloxi Fire Department inspections. Confirm specific lot calculations with Planning at (228) 435-6266.
Operating an STR with fewer spaces than the one-per-unit-or-bedroom ratio, or exceeding 60% lot coverage with parking and structures, violates Section 23-4-3(D)(10)e and may trigger remedies and penalties under Section 23-9-6 of the Land Development Ordinance, including Certificate of Occupancy revocation.
