Detroit imposes no dedicated STR parking ordinance. Properties must follow Chapter 55 (Traffic) rules including no blocking of driveways and Chapter 50 zoning off-street parking minimums.
Under Detroit Zoning Ordinance Chapter 50, single-family homes in R1 and R2 districts must provide at least one off-street parking space per dwelling. STRs do not have separate minimum requirements, but hosts should list available parking clearly. Detroit does not issue residential parking permits citywide, so guests may park on the street. Declared snow emergencies trigger alternate-side parking rules with towing. Vacant lot parking is prohibited unless paved and zoning-compliant.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Detroit code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
