Greene County, MO Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Greene County has not enacted STR-specific parking rules for unincorporated areas. The Greene County Zoning Regulations require the standard residential off-street parking minimum (typically one space per dwelling unit in residential districts) and do not impose additional spaces based on guest count. Parking on unimproved surfaces (lawns), in the public right-of-way, or blocking access easements may violate county nuisance and zoning provisions. Inside the City of Springfield, the Land Development Code requires off-street parking for residential uses and Springfield's STR program requires the operator to provide a site plan demonstrating compliant parking. Springfield Code Chapter 106 (Traffic and Vehicles) regulates on-street parking, including duration limits, residential parking permit zones, and prohibitions on parking on lawns. Springfield police enforce on-street parking violations; STR-specific complaints (over-parking, blocking driveways) are a leading source of code complaints against STR operators.
