Unincorporated Knox County has no short-term-rental parking ordinance. STR guest parking follows the county Zoning Ordinance's general off-street parking standards. There is no county STR guest-vehicle cap.
Because Knox County has adopted no STR ordinance, there is no short-term-rental-specific parking requirement in the unincorporated area. Parking is governed by the general off-street parking provisions of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance and by the driveway/right-of-way rules for the property's district. Guests park under the same standards as any residential use — typically on-site, off the public right-of-way. The City of Knoxville's STR ordinance addresses guest parking separately. Confirm district-specific parking standards through Knoxville-Knox County Planning.
No county STR-parking penalty exists in the unincorporated area. Blocking a public right-of-way or violating general parking rules is enforced under the applicable county code and state traffic law.
