Scottsdale's STR ordinance (Ordinance 4566) requires operators to address parking impacts. Guests must use the property's driveway and garage — street parking spillover into neighborhoods is a common enforcement concern. The STR must provide adequate on-site parking for the occupancy level.
Under Scottsdale's STR licensing ordinance (Ordinance 4566), operators are responsible for ensuring that guest vehicles do not create parking problems in the surrounding neighborhood. STR listings should specify available parking, and adequate on-site parking should be provided for the approved occupancy level. Common violations include guests parking on lawns, blocking sidewalks, and creating street parking congestion. Code enforcement responds to neighbor complaints about STR parking impacts. The Emergency Point of Contact (required for all licensed STRs) is expected to address parking issues promptly. HOAs may impose additional parking requirements for STR properties. The city has the authority to revoke STR licenses for repeated neighborhood nuisance violations, including parking issues.
Persistent parking problems from STR guests may contribute to STR license enforcement actions including fines and potential license revocation.
