York County does not regulate painted curbs — curb colors and no-parking markings on public streets are established by each municipality and PennDOT under Pennsylvania's Vehicle Code (Title 75). Residents may not paint or mark a public curb themselves; only the governing authority may.
Curb-color parking controls (yellow no-parking, fire-zone red, loading markings) are set by your city, borough, or township, or by PennDOT on state routes, under PA Title 75, not by York County. Painting the curb in front of your home to reserve a space is not permitted — markings are official traffic-control devices placed by the municipality. York City's parking articles (513, 519) govern its curb and prohibited-parking zones. To request a curb marking or dispute one, contact your municipal public works or parking bureau.
Parking against an official painted-curb restriction is ticketed by the municipality under PA Title 75. Unauthorized curb painting may itself violate local ordinance.
