Richland County does not have a residential curb-painting permit program. Colored curb markings are official traffic-control devices; painting a public curb to reserve or restrict parking is not a private right, and residents should not paint county or state road curbs themselves.
There is no Richland County ordinance letting residents paint address numbers or 'no parking' markings on public curbs. Curb and pavement markings on public roads are traffic-control devices maintained by the county, the SC Department of Transportation, or the relevant municipality, and only they may install them. Parking restrictions in the unincorporated county come from Sec. 17-10 and posted signs, not from resident-painted curbs. On private property, owners may paint their own curbs and stalls consistent with the Land Development Code parking standards. Contact Richland County or SCDOT about a needed public curb marking.
Unauthorized marking of a public roadway or curb can be treated as damaging or interfering with a traffic-control device under state law and county road rules.
