Pasco, WA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Pasco does not publish a short-term rental parking ratio, because the city does not allow sub-30-day rentals and so has no STR use to regulate. Parking for residential dwellings is instead governed by the off-street parking provisions of the city's zoning code (PMC Title 25), which set parking requirements by use and district, and accessory dwelling units are subject to the ADU development standards in PMC Chapter 25.161. Those ADU standards limit ADUs to long-term residential occupancy and bar transient or short-term/vacation rental use, so an ADU cannot lawfully serve as a guest-parking-generating short-term rental in the first place. When the city considered a short-term rental ordinance in 2025 and 2026, the staff proposal specifically named parking standards as one of the conditions a permitted STR would have to meet - confirming that Pasco would impose an STR parking rule only through a future adopted ordinance. As reported, that ordinance remained a proposal. This entry does not assert a specific STR parking-space requirement, because none exists in the current Pasco Municipal Code. Owners of any authorized rental should meet the underlying zoning parking standard for the dwelling and keep parking on the property rather than on neighborhood streets, which can otherwise draw nuisance or code complaints.
