Full Breakdown

The Laredo LDC parking schedule requires residential units to provide 2 off-street parking spaces, and STRs must meet this minimum plus any additional guest accommodation. Operators should designate on-site parking in their listings and prohibit guest parking on lawns, which violates city property maintenance codes. On-street parking is first-come first-served on most residential streets, but vehicles cannot park within 15 feet of fire hydrants, block driveways or mailboxes, or remain stationary longer than 72 hours without movement. In historic districts and near downtown, metered or permit zones may apply. RV and trailer parking by STR guests is restricted to paved driveways and prohibited on the street overnight in most residential areas.

Violations & Fines

Parking citations range from 25 to 200 dollars. Blocking fire lanes or hydrants carries fines up to 500 dollars and vehicle tow.
