Lehigh County sets no rental parking rule. Allentown's zoning ordinance sets off-street parking by use: an accessory dwelling unit needs at least one off-street space, and a Bed and Breakfast requires one space per rental unit plus the dwelling and employee spaces.
Parking for rentals is a municipal zoning matter, not a county one. Allentown's zoning ordinance has no short-term-rental-specific parking standard, but its off-street parking tables cover comparable uses: an accessory dwelling unit must provide at least one off-street space in addition to the principal dwelling's required parking, and a Bed and Breakfast use requires one space per rental unit plus one per dwelling unit and spaces for non-resident employees. Hosts in Allentown must also respect residential permit-parking zones and street-parking rules, which do not reserve on-street spaces for transient guests. Confirm requirements with the Allentown zoning officer for your specific district and building type.
Insufficient off-street parking can block zoning or occupancy approval; illegally parked guest vehicles are ticketed under Allentown's parking code.
