The Land Development Code requires at least one off-street parking space per three occupants for tourist homes, and on-street or yard parking that violates city standards can trigger enforcement.
Tarpon Springs's tourist home regulations set a minimum of one off-street parking space for every three occupants. Driveways and garages count toward the requirement, but parking on lawns, swales, or rights-of-way is generally prohibited. Hosts must clearly designate guest parking and ensure spaces meet LDC dimensional standards. Because Florida Statute 509.032 allows local parking regulation as long as it applies equally to similar uses, Tarpon Springs can enforce these rules without violating state preemption. Repeated parking issues can become a code enforcement matter against the operator.
Parking on grass or in the right-of-way, exceeding occupant capacity for available parking, or failing to provide off-street spaces can lead to citations and code enforcement actions.
