No Alabama statute and no Mobile County ordinance set short-term rental parking. In unincorporated areas guests park on-site or on the road freely, limited only by HOA covenants and any city rule.
Parking for short-term rentals is unregulated in unincorporated Mobile County. Alabama fixes no guest-parking standard, and the county lacks zoning power to require off-street spaces in Theodore, Grand Bay, or Irvington. Guests use the driveway, yard, or public road as the property allows. The only real limits are private: deed restrictions in gated or covenant-controlled subdivisions can cap vehicles or bar street parking, and cities such as Mobile attach parking conditions to STR permits under Ala. Code §11-45-1. Sheriff's deputies still enforce state rules against blocking roads or fire access.
No county STR parking penalty exists. Blocking a roadway or fire lane brings a state traffic citation, and HOA covenants impose their own fines for excess or street parking.
