Clinton, MS has not published a separate parking ratio for short-term rentals; the Zoning Ordinance applies the underlying single-family residential off-street parking standards (typically driveway-based, on-site only) to STRs. Mississippi has no statewide STR preemption, so Clinton Community Development reviews each STR site plan for adequate on-lot parking before issuing a rental license.
The City of Clinton Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 86 of the Code, posted at clintonms.org) governs off-street parking for residential dwellings; it does not contain a published STR-specific parking ratio. STRs that operate as a use of an existing single-family or two-family dwelling must therefore meet the same off-street parking requirement that applies to that dwelling, with parking provided on the lot rather than on adjoining streets. The City's Rental Property Ordinance separately requires every rental unit to be registered annually and to pass an inspection before a Certificate of Occupancy and rental license are issued; that inspection includes a review of the site for junk vehicles, debris, unpermitted construction, and parking-area condition. With Mississippi College in town, neighborhood parking impact is a recurring concern raised at zoning hearings.

Operating a short-term rental that lacks on-site off-street parking, or that pushes guest vehicles onto neighborhood streets in violation of the underlying residential zoning standard, can lead to denial or revocation of the annual rental license under the Clinton Rental Property Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance enforcement remedies.
