Greenwich, CT Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Section 14-17 of the Greenwich Code of Ordinances, Reserved Parking, bars parking on any street, portion of a street, or parking lot listed in Schedule XIII except as specified for that location, with a standing exemption on Sundays and legal holidays. Schedule XIII, the attached table the Board of Selectmen (acting as the Traffic Authority and Police Commission) maintains, lists Town Hall and the Town Hall Garage among the reserved locations and states for each: "Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations as signed and posted." That designation makes the spaces off-limits to any vehicle not using them consistent with the posted EV-charging signage; Town Hall's schedule entry separately reserves thirty other spaces for town employees assigned through the office of the First Selectman, showing the same lot carries several distinct reserved-use rules side by side.

Enforcement runs through § 14-34, Penalties, which applies to violations of any provision of the traffic and parking article, including § 14-17. A police officer or parking enforcement officer serves the vehicle's operator, in person or by attaching a notice to the vehicle, directing payment to the Town within fifteen days of the sum stated on the notice. If a violator fails to pay within that window, § 14-34(a) allows a fine of up to double the original penalty charge. Section 14-34(b) tabulates dollar amounts for named violation categories (for example, $55.00 for a space with no parking area marked or posted, $30.00 for limited/restricted parking), though the schedule does not print a category captioned specifically for EV-charging spaces, so the applicable line item is set by the officer at the time of citation rather than fixed in the excerpted text.
