Pearl has no dedicated short-term rental ordinance, so STR parking defaults to the residential off-street parking standards in the Pearl Zoning Ordinance (adopted Nov. 3, 2020) and the on-street rules in Chapter 38, Article X of the Code of Ordinances. Guests must park off-street in driveways or garages serving the dwelling; on-street parking is regulated by the Pearl Police Department. Confirm specific space counts with Community Development at 601-932-3526.
Pearl has not adopted an STR-specific licensing or parking ordinance. Mississippi has no statewide short-term rental preemption (no Miss. Code provision overrides local control), so local zoning and traffic rules govern guest parking by default. The Pearl Zoning Ordinance adopted by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen on November 3, 2020 sets off-street parking minimums by use category in its residential and commercial articles; STRs are treated as residential dwelling uses, and the parking demand for the underlying dwelling unit applies. Operators should verify the exact space requirement for their zoning district with the Office of Community Development at 2420 Old Brandon Road (Director Brad Robertson, 601-932-3526; Building Inspector 601-932-3528). On-street parking is governed by Chapter 38 (Traffic and Vehicles), Article X - Parking, of the Pearl Code of Ordinances on Municode, which includes Section 38-460 (Parking on Highway) and related provisions enforced by Pearl PD. Parking that blocks driveways, fire hydrants, or sidewalks is prohibited, and recreational vehicles, trailers, and commercial vehicles are restricted on residential streets. Operators should provide off-street parking for all guest vehicles to avoid neighbor complaints and code citations.
Parking guest vehicles on the street in violation of Chapter 38 Article X, blocking driveways or fire lanes, or exceeding the off-street parking capacity of the dwelling can trigger Pearl PD citations and Community Development complaints. Repeated violations can support a nuisance finding against the rental property.
