Brazos County, TX Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Brazos County has not adopted any short-term rental parking ordinance for unincorporated areas. Because Tex. Loc. Gov. Code §233.153 prohibits county zoning under that subchapter and §232 limits county authority outside subdivision platting, the county does not require a minimum number of off-street spaces for STRs, does not regulate on-street guest parking, and does not enforce driveway-width rules on existing single-family lots. Vehicles must be kept clear of county road right-of-way and must not block emergency access; obstruction of a county road is enforceable under Tex. Transp. Code §545.301 and Brazos County Subdivision Regulations. Inside the City of College Station, the STR overlay in the Unified Development Ordinance ties required off-street spaces to bedroom count (typically one space per bedroom for Type 1 / Type 2 STRs) and prohibits parking on landscaped areas. Inside the City of Bryan, STR registration and the Land Development Ordinance parking schedule apply, generally requiring two off-street spaces per dwelling plus additional spaces tied to occupancy. HOA covenants and recorded deed restrictions in unincorporated subdivisions may impose stricter parking limits than any government rule and are enforced privately.
