Ada County does not authorize residents to paint curbs; curb colors and markings on public roads are set by the road authority. In unincorporated Ada County, road striping and signage fall under the Ada County Highway District (ACHD), which manages nearly all public streets in the county. Painting a public
There is no Ada County zoning provision letting a property owner paint a curb (for example, red 'no parking' or reserving a space). Public streets and curbs throughout Ada County, including within cities, are almost entirely maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD), a countywide road agency. Curb-marking colors, red-zone (no-parking) designations and street striping are established and installed by ACHD, not by residents. To request a marked no-parking zone or report a striping issue, contact ACHD. Unauthorized painting or altering of public-road markings is not allowed.
Altering or painting public curbs and markings without authority is prohibited; request changes through ACHD rather than self-painting.
