Short-term rental guests in Mountain View must follow the same residential parking rules as any resident, including no overnight RV parking, permit zones, and street sweeping restrictions.
Mountain View does not have an STR-specific parking code, but guests must comply with all citywide parking rules. This includes the 72-hour limit on continuous street parking of any vehicle, restrictions on oversized and RV parking, street sweeping posted hours, and any residential permit parking zones in the neighborhood. Hosts should clearly inform guests of where they may park, especially in dense areas near downtown and transit corridors. Many hosts provide off-street spaces in driveways or garages to minimize neighbor conflict. Parking violations result in tickets issued to the vehicle, which may be passed on to guests under rental agreements.
