STR operators in unincorporated Orange County must ensure street parking remains available and limit guest vehicles. The permit conditions cap vehicles at one per one-bedroom unit or two for units with two or more bedrooms.
Under the OC Development Services STR permit conditions, parking requirements mandate that street parking remain available for neighbors. A maximum of one vehicle is permitted per one-bedroom STR unit, or two vehicles for units with two or more bedrooms. Guest vehicles may not obstruct driveways, fire hydrants, or emergency access. STR operators must include parking instructions in the rental agreement and inform guests of restrictions. Violations of parking conditions by guests are treated as STR permit violations. The county's standard parking regulations under OCCO Title 6, Division 4 also apply, including the 72-hour street parking limit under California Vehicle Code §22651(k). STR operators are responsible for ensuring guest compliance.
Parking violations by STR guests count toward the two-violation threshold for permit revocation. Standard parking citations may also be issued by the OC Sheriff under OCCO Title 6 and CVC provisions.
