Summary

Glynn County requires every Short-Term Rental to post a maximum vehicle count, mark on-site parking spaces for guests, and send guests parking instructions before arrival, under Glynn County Code § 2-31-6. Exceeding the posted vehicle maximum is itself a separate ordinance violation, and the same limit must appear on an in-unit notice under § 2-31-7(f)(iv).

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Glynn County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

(a)Each Short-Term Rental shall designate the maximum number of cars allowed on-site and, where applicable, instructions for off-site parking for cars exceeding the maximum allowed on-site.(b)Parking spaces within the grounds of the Short-Term Rental must be clearly identified for guests use.(c)The property owner shall provide guests with parking instructions prior to arrival.(d)Exceeding the maximum number of vehicles allowed on-site of a Short-Term Rental is a violation of this Ordinance.

Full Breakdown

Section 2-31-6 of the Glynn County Code sets four parking duties for every Short-Term Rental operating in the unincorporated county outside Jekyll Island. The owner or Managing Agency must designate the maximum number of cars allowed on-site and, where that maximum can be exceeded, give guests instructions for off-site parking. Parking spaces on the property must be clearly identified for guest use, and the owner must send guests parking instructions before they arrive, not after. Section 2-31-7(f)(iv) folds the same limit into the in-unit posting requirement: a notice conspicuously posted near the front door must state the maximum number of vehicles allowed on-site and warn occupants that exceeding it is a violation.

The parking maximum an owner sets is also disclosed to the county itself: under § 2-31-8(a)(viii), the initial Accommodation Excise Tax Certificate application must state the number of parking spaces on the grounds and whether they are clearly identified. Because § 2-31-6(d) makes exceeding the posted on-site maximum a violation in its own right, a rental that regularly overflows its driveway into the street or a neighbor's yard gives the county and neighbors an independent basis for a complaint separate from any noise or occupancy issue.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the maximum number of vehicles designated for on-site parking is a violation of the Short-Term Rental Ordinance under § 2-31-6(d), penalized under the § 2-31-11(a) schedule: $250 first offense, $500 second, $1,000 third or later within 12 months, against the owner or Certificate holder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Glynn County limit parking at short-term rentals?
Yes. Under § 2-31-6, every Short-Term Rental owner must set a maximum number of on-site vehicles, mark the parking spaces for guest use, and give guests parking instructions before they arrive. That same maximum must also be posted on a notice near the front door under § 2-31-7(f)(iv).
What if guests park more cars than the posted limit?
It's a separate violation of the ordinance under § 2-31-6(d), on top of any other Short-Term Rental Standards issue. Fines follow the § 2-31-11(a) schedule: $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second, and $1,000 for a third within 12 months.
Do I have to tell the county how many parking spaces my rental has?
Yes. The Accommodation Excise Tax Certificate application requires the number of parking spaces on the property and whether they're clearly identified for guests, under § 2-31-8(a)(viii), before the Finance Department will issue the certificate.
