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

Under § 59-9350.38.1.H of the zoning code, a host applying for a home sharing/short term rental special exception must submit a site plan or photo to the Board of Adjustment showing the parking spaces serving the rental. The code sets the ratio directly: one off-street parking space for every four occupants. Since total occupancy is capped elsewhere in the code at two guests per bedroom plus two (maximum 16), a large rental can trigger a multi-space parking requirement. The requirement applies to special-exception cases, non-primary-residence rentals, hosts renting more than ten nights a month, or units in a Historic Preservation District, and does not apply retroactively to special exceptions lawfully issued before this rule took effect, which may be renewed under the prior terms.
