Mono County, CA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Parking for transient/vacation rentals in unincorporated Mono County is governed by the County's transient rental standards (General Plan Land Use Element Chapter 26). The standards require that guest parking be accommodated entirely on-site and prohibit overflow onto the street or neighboring lots. The County's language states: 'There shall be no off-site or on-street parking allowed,' and that parking on property owned by other persons is considered a trespass. To make the limits clear to guests, the County requires that parking requirements be noticed in the rental agreement and posted both on and inside the unit, including a diagram fixing the designated parking location(s). The number of on-site spaces required varies with the unit; the standards reference compliance with the County's general parking standards rather than fixing a single number for all units. The December 9, 2025 amendments (MCC Chapter 5.65) require properties to be certified as complying with parking requirements as part of the permitting process, so confirming adequate on-site parking is a condition of approval. Operators should verify the specific space requirement for their unit with the Community Development Department.
