STR parking must comply with local zoning. Most Onondaga County towns require off-street parking for all guests (typically 1 space per bedroom). On-street overflow prohibited during snow emergencies.
Onondaga County does not regulate STR parking at the county level. Parking requirements are set through each municipality's zoning code. Most towns require one off-street parking space per bedroom for STRs, matching single-family dwelling standards. Syracuse requires all STRs to provide on-site parking per its zoning ordinance (roughly 1 space per bedroom for 1-3 bedroom units, with reduced requirements in transit-served districts near Syracuse University). Skaneateles and Manlius enforce similar per-bedroom ratios. Critically, Syracuse and most suburban towns impose odd-even overnight street parking from November 15 through April 1 for snow removal, and declare snow emergencies that ban all on-street parking when plowing is active. STR hosts must disclose parking rules to guests, and repeated snow-emergency towing at an STR can become grounds for permit review.
Parking zoning violations at issuance: permit denial. Post-issuance violations: fines ($50-$250) and potential permit suspension. Snow emergency tows cost $150-$300 plus storage fees.
