Summary
Travis County does not regulate STR parking in unincorporated areas. Guests generally park on-site; county roads allow on-street parking unless posted. Austin STRs must provide one off-street space per bedroom.
Sec. 545.302. STOPPING, STANDING, OR PARKING PROHIBITED IN CERTAIN PLACES. (a) An operator may not stop, stand, or park a vehicle:(1) on the roadway side of a vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street;(2) on a sidewalk;(3) in an intersection;(4) on a crosswalk;(5) between a safety zone and the adjacent curb or within 30 feet of a place on the curb immediately opposite the ends of a safety zone, unless the governing body of a municipality designates a different length by signs or markings;(6) alongside or opposite a street excavation or obstruction if stopping, standing, or parking the vehicle would obstruct traffic.
Full Breakdown
Because Travis County has no zoning, there are no minimum parking requirements for unincorporated STRs. On-street parking on county roads is permitted unless signed otherwise. Austin City Code 25-2-792 requires STRs to provide one off-street parking space per bedroom. Lakeway requires 2 spaces plus 1 per bedroom over 3. HOA CCRs often restrict overnight street parking in subdivisions.
