Full Breakdown
Cedar Hill regulates short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, etc.) through zoning and an STR registration requirement. Operators must designate one off-street parking space per advertised bedroom, with a minimum of two spaces, located on the driveway or in an approved parking pad, not on the lawn. Guest overflow is limited to one additional vehicle parked legally on the public street in front of the rental. Boats, RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles brought by guests cannot be stored on the property or street consistent with Cedar Hill's general vehicle-storage rules (Ch. 50 / Ch. 70). Vehicles cannot block sidewalks, fire hydrants (15 ft clearance), mailboxes, or driveways of neighboring homes. STRs in HOA neighborhoods near Lake Ridge or High Pointe may face stricter HOA parking covenants. The required parking diagram is part of the STR registration; non-compliance can void the registration.
Violations & Fines
Parking citations from Cedar Hill PD ($25-$100 per ticket); STR registration suspension or revocation by the city; tow-away of blocking or abandoned guest vehicles at owner expense under TX Transportation Code Ch. 683.
