Full Breakdown
El Paso Zoning Chapter 20 generally requires two off-street parking spaces per single-family dwelling with additional spaces for larger homes. STR operators should ensure that guests do not block driveways, sidewalks, or fire hydrants. On narrow streets in Kern Place and Sunset Heights, enforcement of parking violations is active. Hosts renting out homes in gated communities such as Coronado Country Club or parts of the Upper Valley may face additional HOA-imposed parking limits. RV and trailer parking by guests is subject to the city's RV parking rules under Chapter 12.
Violations & Fines
On-street parking violations: $35 to $75. Blocking a driveway or fire lane: up to $200 and towing. Repeated STR parking nuisance can support zoning enforcement.
