MoCo requires STR hosts to provide one parking space per three guests. Guests may not block rights-of-way. Rockville residential permit parking zones also apply.
Montgomery County short-term rental regulations require hosts to provide one off-street parking space for every three guests. This parking must be on the property or in a legally available location. Guests may not park on lawns, block sidewalks, or obstruct public rights-of-way. In Rockville, many neighborhoods have residential permit parking zones, particularly near the Rockville Metro station and Rockville Town Square. Short-term rental guests parking on the street in these zones may need temporary visitor parking passes arranged by the host. Rockville City Code regulates on-street parking, including time limits and permit requirements. Hosts should provide clear parking instructions to guests as part of their listing information. Failure to manage guest parking adequately could contribute to nuisance complaints, which can put a short-term rental license at risk. The City of Rockville has been considering additional parking conditions as part of its proposed local STR regulations.
Parking violations in Rockville carry standard city parking fines. Persistent parking problems from STR guests can contribute to nuisance findings that risk license suspension or revocation under Chapter 54.
