West Fargo, ND Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Section 10-1604(3) of West Fargo's STR chapter sets a minimum of two (2) off-street parking spaces per licensed premises. The spaces must be on the property itself and must remain open and available to short-term renters throughout the entire stay; parking on lawn areas, in the public right-of-way, or in a manner that violates any other West Fargo parking ordinance is an enforceable violation of Chapter 10-16. The ordinance ties STR parking to all other applicable City ordinances under Section 10-1604(2), so general overnight on-street parking limits, snow-emergency parking rules, and right-of-way restrictions apply equally to STR guests. As part of the application under Section 10-1603(2)(f), operators must submit a scaled floor plan and property information sufficient for the City Auditor to confirm parking availability before a license issues. The Good Neighbor Guidelines posted inside the unit under Section 10-1604(5)(b) include parking etiquette, and the City Auditor mails notice of every new STR license to property owners within 150 feet so neighbors can report parking problems directly to the City.
