Midwest City, OK Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Midwest City has not enacted a dedicated short-term rental parking ordinance. STR operators inherit the off-street parking standards in Appendix A (Zoning Regulations) of the Midwest City Code, administered by the Community Development Department, Planning and Zoning Division. Section 7 of Appendix A sets the off-street parking framework, and Section 7.8.2 allows applicants to seek exceptions through the Board of Adjustment. Section 5.17.1 of the zoning ordinance permits no more than one carport per dwelling unit, which constrains how a host can expand covered parking for guest vehicles. On-street parking concerns, including overnight guest cars on residential blocks, are reviewed by the city's Residential Parking Restrictions Committee. Because Midwest City borders Tinker AFB and many neighborhoods have narrow streets and existing parking pressure, hosts should plan to keep guest vehicles on the driveway or pad rather than the street. Confirm the per-dwelling parking ratio that applies to your zoning district with the Planning and Zoning Director (405-739-1228) or the Permit Desk (405-739-1211) before listing.
