Southaven has no STR-specific parking ordinance, but Chapter 7 of the city zoning ordinance requires every dwelling unit to provide two off-street spaces. STR guests must park on paved driveways or approved hard-surface areas; parking on lawns, in front of accessory buildings, or in the right-of-way is prohibited in residential districts.
Southaven's Planning and Development Ordinance, Chapter 7 (Off-Street Parking) and Chapter 12 (District Regulations), governs short-term rental parking by treating the dwelling itself as a single-family residence. Each parking space must be at least 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, and at least two off-street spaces must be supplied per dwelling unit. Vehicles in residential zones may only be parked on paved or concrete driveways, or on impervious surfaces between the driveway and the side property line that match the driveway material; parking on grass, mulch, or bare yard is a code violation. Recreational equipment such as boats, campers, and trailers must be at least 20 feet back from the street on a hard surface, and Class 3 or larger commercial vehicles are prohibited in residential zones except for active service or delivery. Confirm any HOA covenants and current STR registration requirements with Southaven Planning at 662-393-6939 and Code Enforcement before listing.
Parking guest vehicles on lawns, in front yards off the driveway, on unpermitted unpaved surfaces, or blocking sidewalks/streets violates Southaven Chapter 7 parking rules and is enforced by Code Enforcement, with citations and tow risk under the residential parking provisions.
