Sacramento County Code §4.08 requires Carmichael STR operators to provide off-street parking for all guest vehicles - typically one space per bedroom. Guest parking on adjacent residential streets is restricted, and overflow on lawns or in setbacks is prohibited.
Under SCC §4.08 and Zoning Code §5.9 (Parking), STR permits in Carmichael require off-street parking equal to the number of bedrooms, plus the primary-residence parking already required by the underlying RD zone (typically 2 spaces). The operator's house rules must include parking instructions and explicit prohibition of street parking that blocks driveways or fire hydrants. SCC §10.24 caps street parking at 72 hours in any one location. The Sacramento County Sheriff routinely cites overflow STR parking under Vehicle Code §22500 and §22507.
Parking violations are cited under §10.24 (county code, up to $100 first offense) and Cal Veh Code §22500 (up to $73). Repeated STR parking complaints are grounds for permit conditions or revocation under §4.08.
