Curb markings and colored-curb meanings are set and painted by your city or the county road authority, not by residents. Under Minn. Stat. 169.34 you may not park where a traffic-control device or marking prohibits it.
Painting a curb yourself to reserve or restrict parking is not permitted anywhere in Dakota County; curb markings are official traffic-control devices installed by the city or the county's Transportation Department on county roads. Minn. Stat. 169.34 bars stopping, standing, or parking in violation of a traffic-control device, which includes painted curbs and posted no-parking markings. Meanings of colored curbs (no-parking, loading, fire lane) come from local ordinance and the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. For a marking request on a county road, contact Dakota County Transportation at 952-891-7900.
Parking against a painted no-parking or fire-lane curb is a petty misdemeanor and can be ticketed or towed. Unauthorized curb painting may itself violate city code.
