Ontario STR guests must park on-site in the driveway or garage before using the street. Overflow street parking must obey posted signs, street sweeping, and oversized-vehicle restrictions.
Short-term rentals in Ontario must provide adequate off-street parking for guest vehicles. Residential zones in Ontario require each dwelling to have a minimum number of enclosed or covered parking spaces, and STR operators should direct guests to use the driveway and garage before parking on the public street. Overflow parking on city streets must comply with posted signs, street-sweeping schedules, California Vehicle Code restrictions, and Ontario Municipal Code parking provisions. Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, and commercial vehicles cannot be parked on public streets overnight in most Ontario residential neighborhoods without a permit. Blocking driveways, mailboxes, fire hydrants, or fire-lane access is prohibited and can result in citations or towing. House rules for STR guests should clearly state the number of cars allowed, which on-site spaces to use first, and which street parking restrictions apply on the specific block. Repeated parking complaints can contribute to permit review.
