Short-term rentals in Sugar Land must provide 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit under the Development Code. Vehicles may not park on unimproved surfaces in residential front or side yards. Street parking is subject to general Sugar Land parking ordinances.
Sugar Land's Development Code requires 2 off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit, which applies to STR properties. Vehicles belonging to STR guests must park on improved driveways or in garages — parking on grass, dirt, or other unimproved surfaces in the front or side yard is prohibited under the city's code enforcement standards. Street parking is subject to the general parking provisions in Chapter 5 of the Code of Ordinances including restrictions on parking commercial vehicles in residential areas. CUP conditions for STR operations may impose additional parking requirements based on the property's location and anticipated guest volume. Sugar Land's master-planned communities often have additional HOA parking rules that apply.
Parking on unimproved surfaces is a code enforcement violation. General parking violations are handled under Chapter 5 of the Code of Ordinances with fines up to $500. CUP parking condition violations may trigger revocation proceedings.
