Horn Lake has no separate short-term rental ordinance; STRs are treated under the city's Rental Housing Code (Ordinance 22-06-281, effective January 1, 2023) and Zoning Ordinance off-street parking standards. Confirm exact STR parking ratios with Horn Lake Planning at (662) 393-6705 before listing.
The City of Horn Lake adopted Rental Property Ordinance No. 22-06-281 on June 21, 2022, effective January 1, 2023. The ordinance applies to leased residential properties and is administered by Planning and Development at 3101 Goodman Road West. Mississippi Senate Bill 2693 (2019), which would have preempted local short-term rental regulation, died in committee, so Horn Lake retains home-rule authority under Mississippi Code Section 17-1-3 et seq. to apply its standard residential off-street parking minimums to STRs. Horn Lake's Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A, Article XI - Accessory Uses & Off-Street Parking) sets parking minimums for single-family dwellings; these same minimums apply when the dwelling operates as a short-term rental. STR-specific parking ratios per bedroom are not separately published. Confirm the exact required space count for your address, surface requirements, and whether driveway-only parking satisfies the standard with Planning at (662) 393-6705 or plandept@hornlake.org before applying for a Rental Property License.
Renting without a Rental Property License or providing fewer off-street spaces than the underlying zoning district requires can trigger code-enforcement action, license denial, and citation under Ordinance 22-06-281 and Chapter 8 of the Code of Ordinances. Confirm penalties with Code Enforcement.
