Forsyth County caps short-term rental parking at one vehicle per bedroom, or the property's actual paved capacity, whichever the site allows. Guests may not park on lawns, yards, or county rights-of-way under Ordinance No. 129.
Under Ordinance No. 129, a Forsyth County STR must limit guest vehicles to no more than one per bedroom, or the actual paved parking capacity of the property, and the allowed number must be disclosed in the license application and posted for guests. Parking on grass, in yards, or along county rights-of-way is prohibited, a rule aimed at protecting the rural character of the A1 and Ag-Res areas where rentals are allowed. Overflow parking is a frequent complaint driver near Lake Lanier, and repeated problems can jeopardize the STR license.
Parking beyond the posted limit or on lawns and rights-of-way is an STR violation under Ordinance No. 129, drawing citation and counting toward suspension or revocation of the license; vehicles blocking roads may also be ticketed or towed.
