Provo, UT Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Provo City Code 6.33.030 lists the documents a short-term rental owner must submit beyond the standard business license application in Section 6.01.060. Subsection (2) requires "a parking plan for each such dwelling, subject to administrative staff review and approval, that meets the minimum parking requirements of the zone." That plan is submitted alongside an occupancy plan under Subsection (3), which caps total occupancy at ten individuals per dwelling regardless of room count. Under 6.33.040, no short-term rental license may be issued or renewed unless both the application and the dwelling unit meet these Chapter 6.33 requirements, meaning an unapproved or missing parking plan is an independent basis to deny or withhold the license.

Short-term rentals are confined to zones where the use is allowed, and within a multifamily building no more than ten percent of units may hold a short-term rental license at once (6.33.020(3)), so the parking plan is evaluated against a building whose off-street capacity is already shared with long-term residents. Because 6.33.060 folds in the general rental-dwelling license provisions of Chapter 6.26, including license denial (6.26.070) and suspension or revocation (6.26.080), a parking plan that is falsified or that no longer reflects the property, such as after a driveway is repaved or a garage converted, exposes the license to the same denial and revocation process as other licensing defects. Violations of Chapter 6.33 are enforced under Section 1.03.010(1) as set out in 6.33.080.
