Olive Branch has no dedicated short-term rental ordinance. Article XI, Section 5.A.1 of the city zoning ordinance requires two off-street paved spaces per dwelling unit, and Section 4.D.1 prohibits parking on yard areas. If a host is classified as a bed and breakfast, Section 5.A.3 adds one space per guest bedroom (minimum two).
The City of Olive Branch zoning ordinance (Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances) does not separately regulate short-term or vacation rentals, so STR parking falls under the general residential standards in Article XI, Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements. Section 5.A.1 sets two off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit for single-family, two-family, and multiple-family dwellings, and Section 4.A.5 confirms enclosed garages, carports, and paved driveways count toward the requirement. Section 4.D.1 prohibits parking in yard areas other than on a paved driveway. If the Planning and Development Department classifies a property as a bed and breakfast (defined in Article II as 4 to 20 rooms with the operator living on premises), Section 5.A.3 requires one space per guest bedroom with no fewer than two spaces. Confirm classification with Planning and Development at 662-892-9200.
Parking on lawns, gravel, or unpaved areas violates Section 4.D.1 of Article XI. Failing to maintain the required two paved spaces per dwelling unit (Section 5.A.1) can trigger zoning enforcement by the Planning and Development Department.
