Sacramento STRs must provide the number of off-street parking spaces required by zoning and clearly list parking rules in the guest house manual.
Under SMC 5.114, hosts must disclose all parking in the STR permit application. Single-family dwellings typically must provide two off-street spaces; duplexes and multifamily follow zoning code parking counts. Guest vehicles parked on the street must comply with permit parking districts, 72-hour move rules, and street sweeping. STRs in the Central City and Midtown residential permit zones cannot provide guest parking permits; violations lead to guest tickets that can be cited back to the operator under the Good Neighbor Policy.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Sacramento code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
