STR guests in Dearborn must use on-site driveway and garage parking; overnight on-street parking is restricted citywide from 2 AM to 6 AM unless a permit is issued.
Dearborn enforces a citywide overnight on-street parking ban from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM under Chapter 23 of the City Code, with limited exceptions for permitted vehicles or posted signage. Short-term rental guests who leave vehicles on the street overnight risk ticketing. Hosts should make clear in listings that guests must park in the driveway or garage and include the number of available spaces. Residential districts require a minimum of two off-street spaces per single-family dwelling; guest vehicles that exceed driveway capacity create code and nuisance issues. Parking on front lawns is prohibited under the Property Maintenance Code. Repeated parking complaints can support rental certificate action. Commercial vehicles, RVs, and trailers may not be parked overnight in residential districts.
