Full Breakdown

Compton does not have STR-specific parking rules because short-term rentals are largely prohibited in residential zones. All properties are subject to the parking provisions of CMC Chapter 12 (Traffic Regulations). Vehicles may not be parked in front yards or unfenced side yards for more than 72 consecutive hours without a permit from the Traffic Committee. The new preferential parking permit district (Ordinance 2298) in the Richland Farms area requires all vehicles on city streets to display a valid permit, enforced 24 hours. Parking permits are available at City Hall, 205 S. Willowbrook Ave.

Violations & Fines
