Redmond STR parking follows residential zoning (usually 2 off-street spaces). Street parking is allowed under RMC 10.16 with a 72-hour move rule; hosts should not rely on streets as primary capacity.
Parking for short-term rentals in Redmond follows the underlying residential zoning standards in the Redmond Zoning Code (RZC). Single-family dwellings are typically required to provide at least 2 off-street parking spaces, and these must remain available for the STR use. Hosts must communicate parking expectations to guests through their listing and house rules to avoid guest vehicles blocking driveways, sidewalks, mailboxes, or fire hydrants. Public streets in Redmond residential neighborhoods generally allow street parking, but vehicles must be moved every 72 hours to avoid abandoned vehicle treatment under RMC 10.16. Parking of oversized vehicles (RVs, trailers, commercial vehicles) is restricted in residential areas under the same RMC 10.16 rules regardless of STR status. Multi-unit properties and condominiums may have private HOA rules or dedicated STR parking conditions that supersede the general standard. HOAs may restrict guest parking in their CC&Rs.
Blocking sidewalk or hydrant: parking infraction under RMC 10.16 and state law. Abandoned vehicle (72 hours): towable under RMC 10.16. Fire lane blocking: additional fire code penalty.
