Norristown, PA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Off-street parking for any dwelling unit operated as an Air B&B, Tourist Home, or short-term rental falls under Article XXVI (Off-Street Parking and Loading) of Norristown Zoning Code Chapter 320, which sets the minimum stall count by residential use type and lot configuration. The zoning code allows the off-street requirement to be reduced by one space per residential unit on streets where legal on-street parking provides 50% or more of the on-site requirement, but that reduction is keyed to the principal residential use, not to additional STR guest vehicles. On-street parking inside one of Norristown's Residential Zone Parking Permit districts is restricted to vehicles displaying the proper permit issued through the Norristown Parking Permit Program; STR guests parking on the street in a permit district without a valid permit are subject to ticketing and tow under the Streets and Parking chapter. Norristown does not publish a separate STR-specific parking ratio; for the exact off-street stall count applicable to your zoning district and lot, confirm with the Norristown Planning and Municipal Development Department at 610-270-0450.
