DeSoto's STR ordinance (Chapter 30) incorporates parking standards from Chapter 54 zoning: a minimum of one off-street space per bedroom must be available for guests, with all spaces on a paved surface (not grass or unimproved yard). Chapter 78, Article VI prohibits overnight on-street parking citywide between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Guest parking plans must be submitted with the STR application and communicated clearly in the listing. Blocking fire hydrants, fire lanes, or sidewalks is also prohibited under Sec. 78-116 and may result in towing.
Parking citation $25-$100; towing fees; STR permit points toward revocation for repeat issues.
