Short-term rental guests in Thousand Oaks must comply with standard residential parking regulations. Guest vehicles must use designated off-street parking or comply with street parking limits. Oversized vehicles and RVs associated with rentals are subject to the city's vehicle storage ordinance.
Thousand Oaks does not have a comprehensive STR-specific ordinance but applies general residential parking rules to rental properties. Guest vehicles must park in driveways or garages where available. Street parking is subject to the city's 72-hour parking limit on public streets. Oversized vehicles, trailers, and RVs parked on the street are subject to TOMC vehicle storage regulations. Residential neighborhoods with permit parking programs require guests to obtain temporary permits. The city's hilly terrain and narrow streets in some areas make off-street parking particularly important for rental properties.
Vehicles parked on public streets beyond 72 hours may be cited and towed. Oversized vehicle violations carry fines starting at $50. Blocking driveways or fire hydrants results in immediate towing.
