Yellowstone County sets no STR-specific parking rule, but its zoning within 4.5 miles of Billings regulates the storage and parking of vehicles generally. Inside Billings, STR permit conditions and city zoning govern guest parking. Rural parcels outside zoning may have no parking rule.
Yellowstone County's zoning code (within 4 1/2 miles of Billings) includes regulations concerning the storage and parking of vehicles, so an STR in that zoning area must meet the same off-street parking and vehicle-storage standards as other residences — but there is no separate short-term-rental parking requirement. Outside any adopted zoning district, the rural county sets no parking rule. The City of Billings applies its residential off-street parking standards and STR permit conditions to rentals inside city limits, and the community decay ordinance elsewhere in the county bars long-term storage of inoperable or junk vehicles visible from a public right-of-way. Verify parking counts for your parcel with County Planning.
Improper vehicle storage or parking in the county zoning area is enforced by Code Enforcement; junk-vehicle accumulation visible from the right-of-way violates the community decay ordinance.
