Jefferson County controls curb and roadway markings through official "Traffic Control Devices" placed by the Transportation & Engineering Division. Residents may not paint curbs to reserve or restrict parking; only authorized devices are legally enforceable.
The parking ordinance defines Traffic Control Devices as all signs, signals, markings, and devices placed by authority of a public body having jurisdiction to regulate, warn, or guide traffic. Parking is restricted only through Board resolution/ordinance or approved regulatory devices, meaning curb markings must be official. The ordinance sets no process for residents to paint their own curbs, and unauthorized markings on a public right-of-way are not enforceable and may themselves be a right-of-way violation. Contact Transportation & Engineering for any legitimate curb-marking or no-parking request.
Only officially placed markings are enforced (class 2 petty offense, $25+). Unauthorized painting or alteration of public right-of-way markings is not recognized and can prompt a right-of-way/nuisance complaint.
