South Fulton, GA Parking Rules: Curb Color Rules (2026)

Research of the City of South Fulton Code of Ordinances did not find any provision allowing private individuals to paint curbs (for example, red, yellow, or address numbers) to designate or reserve parking; curb and street markings are an official traffic-control function. Instead, the city restricts on-street parking through posted signs installed under its formal No-Parking process. To create a No-Parking zone, residents complete an application: an HOA must submit a resolution and/or meeting minutes showing 50%+1 approval and the signatures of three board members, while a non-HOA street requires the signature, address, email, and phone number of at least 60% of the occupied residential properties adjacent to the requested portion of street. The Fire Marshal evaluates the request for approval; if approved, Public Works assesses cost and funding and installs the signs, IT maps the locations, and police monitor and enforce them. The HOA/community parking-enforcement-sign program is reflected in the city Code (Title 8, Chapter 1, in the 8-1006 sign provisions), with a $25.00 fine for parking in violation of such posted residential signs. Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 40-6-203), parking is prohibited where official signs prohibit it, so it is the city's official signs and markings, not private curb paint, that control.
