Summary
Unincorporated Flagler County requires one off-street parking space for every three transient occupants permitted in a short-term vacation rental, and bans on-street parking outright. Garage spaces count if they are kept open and guests are given vehicular access. The standard is one of the mandatory Short-Term Vacation Rental Standards under Land Development Code Sec. 3.06.14.
3.Parking standard. Based on the maximum short-term transient occupancy permitted, minimum off-street parking shall be provided as one (1) space per three (3) transient occupants. Garage spaces shall count if the space is open and available and the transient occupants are given vehicular access to the garage. On-street parking shall not be permitted.
Full Breakdown
Sec. 3 sets the minimum off-street parking a short-term vacation rental must provide: one space for every three transient occupants the unit is permitted to house, based on the maximum occupancy figure on its Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate. A garage counts toward that number only if the space is left open and available and the transient occupants are given vehicular access to it; a locked or storage-only garage does not qualify. The subsection is explicit that 'on-street parking shall not be permitted,' so overflow guest vehicles cannot be parked along the road in front of the rental.
2 at ten transient occupants in the county's single- and two-family residential districts (R-1 through R-2, MH-1, MH-2 and R/C) and sixteen in other districts, which sets the parking-space floor at roughly three to six spaces depending on the unit. 3 must list every occupant vehicle's license tag, capped at the number of designated spaces.
Violations & Fines
Renting a unit without the required off-street spaces, letting guests park on the street, or exceeding the vehicle count on the Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate is a violation of Sec. 3.06.14 subject to subsection K's progressive enforcement: a written warning for a first offense, then civil citations set by Board of County Commissioners resolution for repeat violations, with inspection and certificate transfer denial available for continued noncompliance.
