Trinity County's current code has no STR-specific off-street parking mandate; parking is addressed through general zoning. The April 2026 draft zoning code would require one off-street parking space per bedroom for a short-term vacation rental. Until that draft is adopted, parking conditions are set case-by-case through any required use permit.
There is no short-term-rental-specific parking ordinance currently in force across unincorporated Trinity County. Off-street parking is handled through the general zoning code's parking standards and through any conditions attached to a Director's Use Permit for a recreational use. The County's April 2026 Public Review Draft Title 17 Zoning Code, however, sets an explicit standard: a short-term vacation rental would require one parking space per bedroom. That draft figure is a useful planning benchmark, but it is a proposal under public review and not yet adopted law, so operators should not assume it is binding until the Board of Supervisors enacts the new code. In the rural Trinity Lake and Trinity River areas, adequate on-site parking also matters for fire access and emergency egress on narrow roads, so the Planning Division or fire authority may require off-street parking sufficient to keep guest vehicles off the roadway. Operators pursuing a use permit should expect parking to be reviewed and possibly conditioned on a per-property basis.
Inadequate off-street parking can be grounds for denial or conditioning of a use permit. Guest vehicles blocking rural roads or fire access can prompt enforcement under road and fire-access rules.
