Fremont STR operators must provide on-site parking for guests and cannot rely exclusively on street parking; guests must follow residential permit zone rules where applicable.
Fremont Municipal Code Title 18 requires residential properties to maintain the minimum off-street parking for their use, typically two spaces per single-family dwelling. Short-term rental operators must designate these spaces for guest use and cannot block sidewalks, driveways, or garages for rental vehicles. Guests exceeding on-site capacity must use legal public street parking and comply with residential permit parking zones, posted street sweeping schedules, and 72-hour parking limits under CVC 22651(k). Recreational vehicles and trailers are prohibited from overnight street parking throughout Fremont. House rules provided to guests must include a clear parking map. Violations can lead to towing at guest expense and citations against the operator for failure to manage traffic impacts.
