Short-term rentals in Richmond must comply with the off-street parking standards in the city's Unified Development Code, which apply to residential dwelling units regardless of length of stay.
Richmond's Unified Development Code (UDC) Article 4.2 establishes minimum off-street parking requirements for residential uses. Single-family dwellings used as short-term rentals must provide the same number of off-street spaces required for a permanent residence and may not rely on continuous on-street or yard parking that violates zoning rules. Parking spaces must be on an approved surface, located on the lot, and may not block sidewalks, alleys, or required setbacks.
Code-compliance violations for parking on unapproved surfaces, blocking right-of-way, or exceeding allowable on-lot parking can lead to citations, towing, and orders to abate at the operator's expense.
