Short-term rental guests in Snellville must park on the driveway or legal on-street spaces only. Parking on grass, lawns, or unpaved front yards is prohibited by the property maintenance code. RVs and trailers cannot be stored overnight on the street, and street parking may be limited on narrower residential roads.
Snellville regulates residential parking through its zoning code (Appendix A, Unified Development Ordinance) and property maintenance standards. Vehicles must be parked on an improved surface (concrete, asphalt, or pavers) - parking on grass, lawn, or dirt is a code violation. The UDO limits the number of vehicles that may be stored in a residential driveway and restricts commercial vehicles in R-series residential zones. Georgia state law (GA Code Section 40-6-200 et seq.) governs basic on-street parking, forbidding blocking hydrants, driveways, mailboxes, and stopping within 15 feet of a crosswalk. Snellville has not adopted a separate STR ordinance with per-bedroom parking ratios as seen in Savannah or Atlanta, but hosts advertising on Airbnb or VRBO must ensure guest vehicles do not overflow onto neighbor lawns or block sidewalks. RVs, boats, and utility trailers cannot be stored in front yards and may only be parked on the street temporarily for loading. Repeat parking complaints route to Gwinnett County Police.
Parking on unpaved surfaces: citations issued by code enforcement, typically $50-$250 per occurrence. On-street obstruction violations under GA Code 40-6-203: up to $150.
