STR operators must provide off-street parking for all guest vehicles, typically one space per bedroom. On-street overnight parking is restricted citywide and cannot be used to satisfy STR parking requirements. HOA rules often impose stricter limits.
Port St. Lucie Code Chapter 158 requires that residential dwellings provide minimum off-street parking (typically two spaces for single-family homes). STR registration guidelines under SB 280 implementation authorize the City to require additional parking based on advertised occupancy, generally computed as one space per bedroom. Guests may not park on lawns, swales, or in a manner that obstructs sidewalks. On-street overnight parking (between 2 AM and 6 AM) is restricted in many residential areas of Port St. Lucie and cannot count toward required parking. RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles associated with guests are subject to the same restrictions as resident vehicles (generally prohibited on the street and in front-yard driveways for more than 24 hours). HOAs and CDDs commonly impose tighter rules, including guest parking permits and restrictions on the number of vehicles.
Parking on swale or lawn: $75-$150 citation. Overnight on-street violations: $50-$100 per occurrence. STR over-occupancy with excess vehicles: may trigger registration suspension.
