Adams County has no ordinance letting a resident paint a curb to reserve parking or create a no-parking zone. Curb colors, red zones and street striping on public roads in the unincorporated county are set and installed by the road authority, not by property owners. Request a marked no-parking area
No Adams County regulation authorizes a property owner to paint a public curb (for example, red for 'no parking' or to reserve a space in front of a home). Public street curbs, red-zone designations and traffic striping in unincorporated Adams County are the responsibility of the county road authority (Public Works / Transportation), which installs and maintains them under the Development Standards' roadway and traffic-control criteria. Residents who want a no-parking zone, fire-lane marking, or striping change should request it through Adams County Public Works. Unauthorized painting or altering of public-road markings is not permitted. Inside incorporated cities, the city's public-works department controls curb markings.
Painting or altering public curbs and traffic markings without authority is prohibited; request changes through Adams County Public Works rather than self-painting.
