Summary
South Fulton ties short-term rental parking directly to the permit: owners must disclose the number and location of parking spaces allotted to the property when applying, and the issued permit must be posted inside the unit stating the maximum number of vehicles guests may park there under section 12-3008(a)(4).
(a)A legible copy of the short-term rental unit permit shall be posted within the unit and include all of the following information:(1)The name, address, telephone number and email address of the short-term rental agent;(2)The short-term rental permit number;(3)The maximum occupancy of the unit; and(4)The maximum number of vehicles that may be parked at the unit.(b)Short-term rental units must be properly maintained and regularly inspected by the owner to ensure continued compliance with applicable zoning, building, health and life safety code provisions.

Full Breakdown
Sec. 12-3005(a)(5) requires every short-term rental application to state 'the number and location of parking spaces allotted to the premises,' so the parking allowance is fixed at the permitting stage before a unit can host guests. That figure then becomes part of the mandatory in-unit posting: Sec. 12-3008(a)(4) requires the posted permit copy to display 'the maximum number of vehicles that may be parked at the unit,' alongside the agent's contact information, permit number and maximum occupancy. Parking is also folded into the city's nuisance-party enforcement.
Sec. ' Under Sec. 12-3010(d), a nuisance party violation is grounds for immediate revocation of the short-term rental permit, meaning a pattern of guests overflowing the disclosed parking allotment and blocking streets can cost the owner the permit outright, not just draw a citation. The Community Development and Regulatory Affairs Department reviews the parking disclosure as part of the sworn application and can request additional information from the applicant under Sec. 12-3005(a)(7) before granting or renewing a permit.
Violations & Fines
A short-term rental operating with more vehicles than its posted permit allows, or whose guests block streets and sidewalks, exposes the owner to the chapter's fine ladder under Sec. 12-3009(d): $500.00 for a first violation, $750.00 for a second within 12 months, and $1,000.00 for a third or subsequent violation in that period. If parking-related disturbances rise to a nuisance party under Sec. 12-3002, the permit can be revoked immediately under Sec. 12-3010(d).
