Garland STR guests must park in the driveway or garage; on-street parking is allowed but front-yard and blocked-sidewalk parking are prohibited under city code.
Garland prohibits parking on unimproved surfaces - including front yards and side yards in residential zones - under the Code of Ordinances. STR guests must use the driveway, garage, or legally striped on-street spaces. Vehicles may not block sidewalks, fire hydrants (15 ft), or driveways, and overnight on-street parking that creates a complaint pattern can draw Code Compliance attention. RVs, trailers, and boats parked at STRs are subject to the city's recreational vehicle parking restrictions, which generally prohibit storage in front yards. Hosts in Firewheel and other HOA neighborhoods often face additional restrictions including guest-permit systems and limits on commercial-marked vehicles. Persistent parking complaints from neighbors are one of the most common triggers of STR enforcement in Garland.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Garland code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
