Lee County has no vacation-rental-specific parking ordinance. Because state law preempts new local STR rules, guest parking is governed by the same generally-applicable Land Development Code standards that apply to any residence: off-street parking must be on approved surfaces, and vehicles may not block rights-of-way or sidewalks.
Lee County cannot impose a parking rule that singles out vacation rentals, since FS 509.032(7)(b) preempts local vacation-rental regulation adopted after June 1, 2011. Guest parking at an unincorporated Lee County vacation rental is therefore governed by the county's generally-applicable Land Development Code parking and right-of-way provisions, the same as for any dwelling: vehicles must park on approved driveway or parking surfaces, not on lawns where prohibited, and may not obstruct sidewalks, fire hydrants, or the public right-of-way. Neutral, generally-applicable parking and traffic rules remain enforceable against a rental's guests. Hosts should verify off-street parking requirements for their specific zoning district with Lee County Community Development.
Illegal or obstructive parking is enforced under the county's general parking and right-of-way rules and state traffic law, with citations and potential towing; there is no separate STR parking penalty.
