Chattanooga's STVR review checks that a rental has adequate off-street parking for its guests under the property's zoning, but the city code does not publish a single fixed 'spaces-per-bedroom' figure for STVRs. Parking is evaluated with the certificate application by the Land Development Office.
Short-term vacation rentals are expected to provide on-site or off-street parking consistent with the underlying residential or commercial zoning district, so that guest vehicles do not overload neighborhood streets. The Land Development Office reviews parking as part of the STVR certificate and zoning-compliance check. Because the code ties parking to each zone's standards rather than a stand-alone STVR ratio, hosts should confirm the exact required number of spaces for their parcel with the Land Development Office (stvr@chattanooga.gov). Unincorporated Hamilton County applies its own zoning parking standards through Development Services.
Inadequate parking or guest vehicles blocking streets and driveways can generate parking citations and count against certificate compliance at renewal.
