Full Breakdown
Section 22-75(b)(1)b requires the license application's posted written rules to acknowledge on-site parking is limited to one vehicle per bedroom, listing the location and amount of parking available. Once licensed, § 22-78(a) requires that maximum vehicle number to appear on the license copy posted at the unit, alongside the agent's contact information, unit occupancy limit, and license number; no external signage beyond that posted license is permitted anywhere on the property. Section 22-78(b) then sets the physical standard for where those vehicles may sit: vehicles may never be parked on the county right-of-way or along any roadway, and must be parked only on designated hard-surfaced areas of gravel, concrete, or asphalt; parking outside those hard-surfaced areas, including in yards, is not permitted.
The rule works together with the noise and neighborhood-disruption duties in § 22-75(a)(5), which task the short-term rental agent with using best efforts to keep occupancy from interfering with neighboring property owners' quiet enjoyment, parking spillover being a common trigger for that kind of complaint. As with occupancy and noise, the owner remains responsible for guest and agent compliance under § 22-76(a) and (c), and accumulated parking-related code-violation convictions count toward the three-conviction threshold in § 22-78(c) that forces license revocation and a 12-month reapplication bar. The parking limit applies only to licensed short-term rentals in unincorporated Carroll County.
Violations & Fines
Parking a short-term rental guest's vehicle on the county right-of-way, along a roadway, or in a yard rather than a hard-surfaced area violates § 22-78(b) and is punishable as provided in § 1-13, with each day of a continuing violation a separate offense (§ 22-78(d)). Repeated parking violations count toward the three-conviction threshold in § 22-78(c) that triggers mandatory revocation and a 12-month reapplication bar.
