Phoenix requires STR operators to provide adequate on-site parking to avoid street congestion and preserve the residential character of neighborhoods. The STR ordinance (Phoenix City Code 10-195) mandates compliance with local zoning parking requirements. Operators must ensure guests use designated parking and do not obstruct neighboring properties or public sidewalks.
Under Arizona's short-term rental law (ARS 9-500.39 as amended by SB 1168 in 2022), Phoenix can enforce reasonable regulations on STR parking, and the city requires that short-term rental guests use designated on-site parking rather than congesting neighborhood streets. STR operators must ensure adequate parking is available for the number of advertised guests, and properties should not generate parking demand exceeding what is typical for a single-family residence. Phoenix City Code Chapter 36 parking violations apply equally to STR guests, including prohibitions on parking on unpaved surfaces and the 72-hour street parking limit. Operators who receive repeated parking-related complaints may face enforcement action including fines under the city's enhanced STR enforcement program. Contact Phoenix Neighborhood Services at (602) 262-7844 to report STR parking issues or the Planning and Development Department at (602) 262-7811 for STR regulation questions.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Phoenix code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
