Lubbock STRs follow residential parking rules. Vehicles must park on improved driveways or legally on-street, and cannot block sidewalks, hydrants, or driveways.
Lubbock Code of Ordinances Chapter 22 and the Zoning Ordinance govern residential parking. Vehicles must park on paved or improved surfaces in residential front yards. Parking on unimproved grass or dirt in front yards is a code violation. On-street parking is generally permitted on public rights-of-way where not marked otherwise, but vehicles cannot be left longer than 72 hours without moving, cannot block driveways, and must comply with posted restrictions. Recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats used by STR guests should park on driveways or designated side yards per RV/boat parking rules. Hosts should communicate parking expectations in listings to prevent guests from blocking neighbor driveways or parking across lawns, which generate the most common STR complaints.
Illegal yard parking: code enforcement citation starting at 200 dollars. Blocking hydrant or driveway: towing plus fines.
