Stark County sets no curb-marking rules; cities do. In Canton, no person may stop, stand or park where the curbing is painted yellow. Only the city marks curbs; residents may not paint public curbs themselves.
Curb markings on public streets are controlled by the municipality, not the county. Canton City Code 351.03 provides that no vehicle may stop, stand or park at any place where signs prohibit it or where the curbing is painted yellow, making a yellow curb a no-parking zone. Curb painting on public rights-of-way is done by the city; private individuals may not paint public curbs to reserve space, and unauthorized markings can be removed. House-number curb painting, where allowed, requires city permission. Massillon, Alliance and other cities apply their own curb-marking ordinances, so confirm meaning locally.
Parking against a yellow curb is a Canton parking infraction subject to ticket and tow under 351.99. Unauthorized painting of a public curb may be treated as defacing public property.
