Full Breakdown
Gilbert's STR ordinance requires at least one off-street parking space per bedroom at rental properties. This is one of the stricter parking requirements among East Valley cities. All vehicles must be parked on improved surfaces of asphalt, concrete, cement, or gravel meeting code conditions. The only approved parking areas are the garage, the driveway leading to the garage, or an improved area adjacent to the driveway. Street parking by STR guests should not create congestion or nuisance for neighbors. Operators must communicate parking rules to guests as part of the rental agreement.
Violations & Fines
STR properties not meeting parking requirements face license enforcement. Guest vehicles on unimproved surfaces or creating neighborhood congestion trigger code compliance action.
