Lexington STR regulations require adequate off-street parking for guests and prohibit chronic on-street overflow that blocks neighbors or disrupts residential streets.
Chapter 14A of the Lexington Code directs short-term rental operators to provide sufficient on-site parking for registered guests, typically one space per bedroom subject to zoning standards. Hosts must disclose parking locations to guests and discourage blocking driveways, fire hydrants, and mailboxes. In dense neighborhoods near downtown, the University of Kentucky, and Transylvania University, on-street parking may be restricted or permit-only, and hosts must inform guests of these limits. LFUCG Parking Authority handles enforcement of public parking rules, while STR parking complaints can also feed into the Chapter 14A compliance record, influencing annual permit renewal decisions.
