Murrieta, CA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Murrieta's short-term rental ordinance requires operators to specify, on both the listing and the posted Good Neighbor notice inside the unit, the maximum number of guest vehicles permitted on the property. Typically, the cap aligns with the number of off-street spaces available (driveway plus garage), often two to four vehicles. Overflow parking on public streets is allowed where not otherwise posted, but RV, trailer, and commercial vehicle parking on residential streets is prohibited under Chapter 10 of the Municipal Code. Many Murrieta neighborhoods, including Greer Ranch, Copper Canyon, Bear Creek, and The Colony senior community, are served by private HOA-maintained streets or have parking permit programs; STR guests parking on those streets without an HOA permit may be cited or towed by the HOA. STR operators should coordinate with their HOA's parking rules before listing and disclose any restrictions in writing. Blocking fire hydrants, crosswalks, sidewalks, or driveways is a citation-first offense under Murrieta PD authority. Street sweeping schedules also apply, and guest vehicles parked on sweeping days may be ticketed.
