Tennessee sets no statewide short-term rental parking rule, so requirements come from local zoning. Gallatin requires a site plan showing guest parking with its STR permit; the county's suburban and lakeside lots generally offer ample driveway space.
Parking for short-term rentals in Sumner County is a local matter, since no Tennessee statute addresses guest parking. Gallatin requires applicants to submit a site or plot plan showing the parking provided for the rental, tying approval to off-street capacity. Hendersonville's commercial-zone rentals must meet the site plan and parking standards of their zoning district. Most Sumner County homes, from Hendersonville lakefront lots to newer Gallatin and Portland subdivisions, sit on parcels with driveway and garage space, so guest parking rarely spills into the street. Hosts should state parking arrangements clearly in listings and keep guests from crowding neighbors.
Violating a city parking or zoning condition brings code-enforcement notices and can affect permit renewal. Street-parking violations bring standard municipal tickets and, for obstructing vehicles, towing.
