Columbia County sets no short-term-rental parking rules. Guests follow the same standards as any home in unincorporated Evans or Martinez, with off-street parking governed by the property's zoning and any HOA covenants, not an STR ordinance.
Because Columbia County has no dedicated short-term rental ordinance, there is no STR-specific parking cap, per-bedroom ratio or posted-plan requirement. Guests at a rental in unincorporated Evans or Martinez park under the same rules as any resident: driveway and off-street standards set by the Chapter 90 zoning code, and no obstruction of streets or rights-of-way. HOA covenants across the county's subdivisions are usually the strictest control, often barring lawn parking and limiting on-street overflow. Overflow parking at lake-house and Masters-week rentals near Clarks Hill / Thurmond Lake is a common neighbor complaint, but it is handled as a general or HOA matter, not an STR violation.
There is no STR parking penalty. Vehicles blocking streets or rights-of-way can be ticketed or towed under general county rules, and HOA covenants impose their own fines for lawn or overflow parking.
