Sonora STR properties must not disrupt neighborhood character, which includes parking impacts. General city parking rules apply: 72-hour street parking limit, trailers limited to 12 hours, and vehicles over 6 feet tall prohibited within 100 feet of intersections.
While Chapter 17.64 does not set specific STR parking requirements, the neighborhood character provision requires that rental use not impair the surrounding area. The city parking ordinance prohibits vehicles on streets for more than 72 continuous hours, trailers for more than 12 hours, and vehicles over 6 feet tall within 100 feet of intersections. Vehicle repairs on city streets are prohibited except for emergencies. STR operators should ensure guest parking does not create issues for neighbors.
Parking violations are enforced by Sonora PD. STR parking issues that disrupt the neighborhood may factor into permit renewal decisions under Chapter 17.64.
