Vienna, VA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

The Town of Vienna does not regulate short-term rentals as a distinct land-use category and has not adopted a separate STR parking standard. STRs operate under the parking requirements that govern the underlying residential dwelling under Chapter 18 (Zoning) of the Town Code. For one-family dwellings, the off-street parking minimum is 3 spaces on lots greater than 10,000 square feet and 2 spaces on lots of 10,000 square feet or less, surfaced and graded to provide a dustless surface and lighted so that illumination is reflected away from adjoining residences. Because the Fairfax County short-term lodging zoning ordinance, which caps STR guests and imposes parking conditions, does not apply within the incorporated Town, Vienna STR hosts have no County-level parking ceiling either. Guest overflow typically goes to legal on-street parking subject to Town traffic and parking regulations and any posted restrictions. Hosts should confirm their lot meets the underlying residential off-street minimum, list available driveway capacity in their listing, and remind guests of street rules to limit neighbor complaints.
