Summary

Full Breakdown

Sec. 13-95(b) applies to both standard residential rentals and short-term rentals and sets a strict parking rule: at all times, all automobiles must be parked in an approved off-street parking space or driveway on the property. The parking of automobiles on a swale, lawn, landscape area, within the public right-of-way, or on a sidewalk is expressly prohibited. The City carves out one narrow exception: parking in the right-of-way is allowed only where spaces are specifically marked for on-street parking, but even in those marked spaces, no parking in the right-of-way is permitted overnight.

Sec. the following day, so a car parked in a marked on-street space cannot remain there through that ten-hour window. Owners are required to document compliance up front: Sec. 13-94(e) requires a detailed, legible sketch of the rental property showing parking spaces marked and measured to confirm compliance with the minimum parking requirements before the unit is even approved, and a change in the number or location of parking spaces triggers a brand-new application under Sec. 13-94(f)(4). Sec. 13-96(a)(2) and (j)(4) build on the same framework for short-term rentals specifically: the number of approved vehicles is capped, the maximum number of approved vehicles and a copy of the site plan showing approved spaces must be posted near the entrance to the unit, and any gathering at the property cannot exceed one and one-half times the registered occupancy, up to a hard cap of fifteen people, which functions as a practical brake on the number of vehicles a rental can draw to the site at once.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a swale, lawn, landscape area, sidewalk, or overnight in the right-of-way violates Sec. 13-95(b) and is processed under the general rental enforcement scheme in Sec. 13-97: each day the violation exists is a separate offense, and repeated violations can lead to suspension of the STR's Certificate of Use and Occupancy for periods running from 30 days up to 365 days depending on the violation count within a rolling twelve months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can guests park at a Boynton Beach short-term rental?
Sec. 13-95(b) requires all automobiles to be parked in an approved off-street parking space or driveway on the property at all times. Parking on the swale, lawn, landscape area, right-of-way, or sidewalk is prohibited.
Can guests park on the street overnight?
Only in right-of-way spaces specifically marked for on-street parking, and even then never overnight. Sec. 13-93 defines overnight as 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., during which right-of-way parking is banned entirely.
Does the City check the parking layout before approving a rental?
Yes. Sec. 13-94(e) requires a detailed sketch showing parking spaces marked and measured against the minimum requirements as part of the application, and any change in the number or location of spaces requires a new application under Sec. 13-94(f)(4).
What happens if a short-term rental repeatedly violates the parking rule?
Each day of a parking violation counts as a separate offense under Sec. 13-97, and repeat violations can lead to suspension of the rental's Certificate of Use and Occupancy for 30 to 365 days depending on how many violations occur within a twelve-month period.
