Las Cruces short-term rentals must provide off-street parking onsite - a garage, parking shelter or driveway - or advise renters of parking that does not block traffic or neighbors.
The Las Cruces short-term rental ordinance requires operators to provide off-street parking onsite, such as a garage, parking shelter or driveway. Where onsite parking is not available, the operator must advise renters of appropriate parking that does not affect traffic flow or neighbors' use of the street. Parking guidance is part of the information operators must give guests, and parking-related complaints can be raised with the responsible local contact and factor into the ordinance's nuisance enforcement. Requirements took effect January 1, 2026, with enforcement from July 1, 2026.
Parking complaints are handled through the responsible local contact and code enforcement; repeat nuisance offenses draw $50-$300, then $300-$500, toward possible registration revocation.
