Full Breakdown

Broken Arrow's short-term rental code sets a parking floor: at least one off-street space per sleeping area, plus one additional space reserved for the owner or host, unless Appendix A's zoning standards for mixed-use or commercial districts provide otherwise. The parking plan must be diagrammed and posted inside the unit near the entrance. Vehicles tied to the rental cannot exceed the approved off-street spaces, and none may block sidewalks, driveways, hydrants, fire lanes, or park on unpaved yards. Community development enforces the standard as part of the annual STR license in the City of Broken Arrow, Tulsa County, Oklahoma.

Exceeding approved parking, blocking sidewalks/driveways/fire lanes, or parking on unpaved yards violates § 7-468.1(e) and (m); enforced as a class B misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 and possible license suspension.
