Short-term rental parking in Albany County is governed by each municipality. Driveway capacity is the governing limit in most suburbs; Albany City imposes winter overnight on-street parking ban Nov 15 to Apr 1.
Short-term rental parking in Albany County is governed by each municipality's zoning code because the county has no STR ordinance. The City of Albany (Chapter 375 Zoning and emerging STR rules) typically limits guest parking to the existing driveway capacity plus on-street spaces in front of the property subject to overnight parking ban from November 15 to April 1 during snow season. Bethlehem, Colonie, and Guilderland require one off-street space per two guests or per bedroom rented. Lawn parking is prohibited under most town property maintenance codes, typically cited 50 to 100 dollars per offense. Commercial box trucks and RVs are generally prohibited from STR parking. Snow emergency parking bans (announced by city) require immediate movement of vehicles. STR operators should post parking instructions in the listing to avoid ticketing.
Lawn parking 50 to 100 dollars. Snow emergency violations can trigger towing plus 85 dollar ticket. Exceeding STR parking standards can lead to special use permit revocation.
