Delaware County has no countywide parking requirement for short-term rentals. Off-street parking minimums for STR guests, where they exist, are set by each borough or township's zoning ordinance under the PA Municipalities Planning Code.
Parking standards for short-term rentals are a zoning matter, and in Pennsylvania zoning is municipal, not county. Under the PA Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247), each borough and township decides whether to impose off-street parking minimums on STRs. Planning-commission guidance in the region advises municipalities to 'consider what parking requirements should apply to short-term rentals,' confirming this is a local choice. Delaware County government imposes no such requirement. Hosts should confirm required off-street spaces, driveway rules and any on-street permit-parking restrictions with the municipality where the unit is located; requirements differ widely between dense boroughs like Media or Upper Darby and larger suburban townships.
Set locally; parking violations by guests are enforced under the municipality's or borough's parking and zoning ordinances.
