Full Breakdown

6 repeats the identical sentence for Type B rentals, so the restriction applies no matter which permit a property holds. 7, which force every short-term rental ad to display the permit number, meaning code enforcement can trace a landscaped-area parking complaint back to a specific licensed operator rather than an anonymous listing. e, both treat visible spillover, cars parked on yards, grass, or planting beds, as exactly the kind of neighborhood impact the permit process is meant to screen out before it happens. A host who cannot accommodate guest vehicles on a driveway or paved area, rather than the yard, does not meet the operating standard regardless of how many parking spaces the site otherwise has.

Violations & Fines

Guests parking on lawns, planting beds, or other landscaped area breaches Section 23.5.A.7 or B.6 and is enforceable under Section 23.10: each day the violation continues is a separate offense subject to Article 19 penalties, and the Zoning Administrator can suspend or revoke the short-term rental permit after a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can short-term rental guests park on my Shreveport lawn?
No. Section 23.5.A.7 for Type A rentals and Section 23.5.B.6 for Type B rentals both state that parking is prohibited in any landscaped area, so guest vehicles have to use a driveway, garage, or paved parking surface instead of the yard or planting beds.
Is the parking rule different for whole-house versus room rentals?
No, the language is identical. Section 23.5.A.7 covers Type A room rentals and Section 23.5.B.6 covers Type B whole-house rentals, and both bar parking in any landscaped area, so the permit type doesn't change where guests are allowed to park.
What happens if a short-term rental host lets guests park on the grass?
It's a violation of Section 23.5.A.7 or B.6, enforceable under Section 23.10 with Article 19 penalties and each day counted separately. The Zoning Administrator can pursue permit suspension or revocation after a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
