Grand Junction, CO Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(vi)(B)(d) requires the owner of a short-term rental to post detailed notice, in a highly visible and readily accessible location, covering parking areas and parking restrictions, including a specific notice that parking on lawns is not allowed. That posted-parking item sits within a longer required notice covering building exits, a 24-hour emergency contact, noise restrictions, trash pickup, maximum occupancy, and the City permit number, all of which guests must be able to see without asking. The parking requirement is reinforced at the application stage: under GJMC 21.04.030(d)(5)(vi)(E), the owner must submit a sketch or drawing of the unit depicting all rooms, doors, and windows with dimensions, and must show on-site areas available for guest parking, so the City reviews where cars are supposed to go before the permit issues rather than leaving it to the posted notice alone.

Reading the two provisions together, Grand Junction's approach to short-term rental parking is procedural rather than a fixed numeric space count: it forces the owner to designate and disclose parking areas and to expressly rule out lawn parking, rather than setting a required number of off-street spaces in the STR subsection itself.
