Broward County and its cities commonly require STR operators to provide off-street parking for guests and prohibit on-street parking overflow. Rules must apply equally to all residential properties per FL 509.032.
Parking at short-term rentals in Broward County is governed by a combination of the county land development code and individual municipal STR ordinances. The most common standard in Broward cities requires one off-street parking space per bedroom advertised, with some cities capping total overnight vehicles at the number of legal off-street spaces available. On-street parking is often permitted but cannot be counted toward the required parking total, and RVs, boats, and trailers belonging to short-term guests are typically prohibited overnight in residential driveways or streets. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) allows these parking regulations so long as they apply uniformly to residential properties, not just STRs. In dense beach-adjacent areas (Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale beach, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach), additional restrictions often apply: no parking on lawns or unpaved surfaces, valet arrangements prohibited for residential STRs, and enforcement through parking citations and HOA complaints. Operators must disclose the maximum vehicle count to guests in rental agreements and on listing pages. Violations can generate parking tickets for guests and code enforcement cases against the owner, with repeat issues contributing to STR permit revocation hearings.
