Sunnyvale STRs must provide at least one off-street parking space per rented bedroom and cannot use RV parking or overflow street parking for guests under SMC 19.76.
Sunnyvale Municipal Code 19.76 requires STR hosts to ensure adequate off-street parking at the property. At least one off-street space per bedroom offered for rent is expected. Guests cannot park commercial vehicles, RVs, or trailers at the property. Street parking is limited by the citywide 72-hour rule (SMC 10.12.040) and permit-only restrictions in some neighborhoods. Hosts must disclose parking arrangements in listings and house rules. Repeat parking complaints can trigger STR permit review. Sunnyvale enforces overnight oversized vehicle parking restrictions through Public Works and Public Safety.
