Short-term rentals in Orlando must provide off-street parking for all guests under generally applicable zoning rules, with on-street and lawn parking prohibited in residential areas.
Florida Statute 509.032(7) allows Orlando to enforce parking rules against vacation rentals as long as those rules apply to all residential properties. Orlando zoning generally requires two off-street parking spaces for a single-family dwelling, with additional spaces expected when STR occupancy exceeds typical household size. Parking on unimproved surfaces such as front lawns is prohibited citywide. Overflow guest parking on neighborhood streets can trigger code enforcement and towing. STR registrations in permitted tourist zones often require operators to disclose the maximum number of vehicles and to provide parking maps to guests. Repeated parking complaints can lead to citations and put STR registration at risk.
