Short-term rental properties in Oro Valley must comply with the Town's general parking and zoning regulations. There is no STR-specific parking ordinance due to state preemption under ARS 9-500.39. STR guests must use designated driveways and garages. Street parking is subject to Town Code Chapter 12 (Streets and Sidewalks) and HOA CC&R restrictions, which are often more restrictive than Town code.
Oro Valley does not impose STR-specific parking requirements because ARS 9-500.39 limits municipal regulation of vacation rentals. However, all standard parking regulations apply to STR properties and their guests. Town Code Chapter 12 governs streets, sidewalks, and public rights-of-way, including restrictions on blocking sidewalks and parking in fire lanes. The Zoning Code (Chapter 22) requires residential properties to maintain adequate off-street parking. Guest vehicles must use driveways, garages, and designated parking areas. On-street parking in Oro Valley is generally permitted on public streets but may be restricted in certain neighborhoods, near intersections, or where posted. Many Oro Valley HOAs impose strict parking rules that significantly impact STR operations. Communities like Rancho Vistoso, SaddleBrooke, and Sun City Vistoso typically limit on-street parking duration, prohibit overnight street parking, and restrict the number of vehicles per property. Some HOAs require guest vehicles to display parking passes. RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles brought by STR guests are often prohibited from parking on streets or in driveways by HOA rules. STR operators should include parking instructions in their listing to avoid guest citations.
Town parking violations under Ch. 12. HOA parking fines per CC&Rs. Vehicles blocking fire lanes or sidewalks subject to towing. No STR-specific parking penalty.
