West Jordan, UT Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Section 4-2R-4 sets several conditions a dwelling must meet before West Jordan will allow it to operate as a short-term rental, and the parking condition in subsection B2 is one of them: parking areas and the access to those parking areas must be maintained and available for use at all times, and parking for the short-term rental use must be contained on the site rather than allowed on the public rights-of-way. Because this sits inside the same subsection that also requires the stay run under 30 consecutive days, a signed license application, and payment of the license fee, code enforcement can treat a rental that routinely sends guest vehicles onto the street as failing the licensing conditions themselves, not just as a parking citation.

That failure feeds into the broader license-denial and revocation grounds in section 4-2R-6, which lets the city act on noncompliance with any condition set by an appropriate city authority. West Jordan's off-street parking rule for short-term rentals mirrors the one-space-per-unit requirement the Good Landlord Program imposes on long-term rentals in section 4-2R-3(B)(4), reflecting the city's broader policy of keeping rental-generated vehicle traffic off public streets in residential neighborhoods. The short-term rental parking condition was part of Article R as adopted by Ordinance 12-13 in 2012 and has carried through the 2019 and 2025 amendments unchanged in substance.
