Charleston requires STR operators to provide adequate parking for guests. Operators must include parking information in the listing and guest materials. On-street parking rules apply in many areas.
Charleston's STR ordinance requires operators to inform guests about available parking. In many historic areas, street parking is metered or time-limited. Operators should provide at least one off-street parking space where possible. Guest vehicles must comply with all city parking regulations, including no overnight parking on certain streets. The city's parking management department enforces street parking rules.
Guests who violate parking rules receive standard parking citations. Persistent parking issues from STR guests may factor into permit renewal decisions.
