Hernando, MS has not published a separate STR parking ratio; Zoning Ordinance Article XV (Off-Street Parking) applies the underlying residential standard. Mississippi has no statewide STR preemption, so the Office of Planning reviews each STR site for on-lot parking before issuing a business license.
The Hernando Zoning Ordinance (adopted August 19, 2008), administered by the Office of Planning at 365 Losher Street, Suite 200, governs off-street parking under Article XV. A parking space is defined as enclosed, intended to store one automobile, not less than nine feet wide by 20 feet long. No STR-specific ratio is published, so STRs in single-family or two-family dwellings must meet the same off-street standard as that dwelling, with spaces on the lot rather than on adjoining streets. A business license from the Office of Planning is required for STR use. As a Memphis exurb across the Tennessee line, Hernando sees recurring concerns about overflow guest parking. Confirm the space count for your address at (662) 429-9095.
Operating a short-term rental without adequate on-site parking, or pushing guest vehicles onto neighborhood streets in violation of Article XV, can lead to denial or revocation of the business license and Zoning Ordinance enforcement remedies.
