What are Galveston's short-term rental parking and neighborhood rules? ▼

  • 4-Car Parking Limit: City ordinance strictly limits parking to 4 vehicles per property, parked only in designated driveways. No street parking.
  • Island Quiet Hours: 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. House parties and prom celebrations are strictly prohibited.
