No short-term-rental-specific parking ordinance exists in Forsyth County or Winston-Salem. A dwelling used as an STR follows the same residential parking and driveway standards in the UDO; a permitted Bed and Breakfast must meet off-street parking conditions set through its Special Use Permit.
Because a whole-house rental is treated as a residential use, it is subject to the normal Winston-Salem/Forsyth County UDO parking and driveway provisions for single-family homes, plus any municipal street-parking rules where the property sits inside a town. There is no dedicated 'one space per bedroom' STR mandate. When the Zoning Board of Adjustment issues a Special Use Permit for a Bed and Breakfast, it typically requires an adequate off-street parking plan as a condition of approval, evaluated case by case.
Parking in violation of UDO residential standards or blocking a right-of-way can draw zoning or police enforcement; a B&B ignoring its permit's parking condition risks permit action.
