No Massachusetts statute sets short-term rental parking. Rules come from each town's STR bylaw and zoning. Plymouth and Scituate require off-street guest parking as a registration condition; South Shore winter parking bans limit street storage.
Parking for short-term rentals in Plymouth County is a town matter. No state law fixes guest parking, so towns that license STRs write the rules into the local registration under their zoning and general bylaws. Plymouth, Marshfield, and Scituate require a set number of off-street spaces before approving a rental. Coastal streets fill in summer, and South Shore winter parking bans, running roughly December through March for snow removal, keep guests off the road overnight. The town enforces its parking conditions; Plymouth County has no role.
Violating a town STR parking condition risks the local license at renewal. Street violations and snow-ban parking bring standard municipal tickets and towing.
