Full Breakdown

on any day except Sunday, unless the vehicle is there for the expeditious loading, unloading, delivering, or picking up of materials or merchandise. The section does not set a maximum dwell time for a vehicle actively loading, but the word "expeditious" limits the use to active loading activity rather than open-ended parking. window and on Sundays, when the loading-only restriction does not apply.

Violations & Fines

Parking in a marked Loading Zone between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on a day other than Sunday for any purpose besides loading or unloading violates Section 10.16.080 and is cited under the Chapter 10.16 penalty at Section 10.16.160: a fine of up to $500 under Section 1.08.010, or up to $2,000 if enforced as a safety or zoning matter, with each day treated as a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park in a Loading Zone in Georgetown while I run into a store?
No. Section 10.16.080 reserves marked Loading Zone spaces, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on any day except Sunday, for the expeditious loading, unloading, delivering, or picking up of materials or merchandise. Parking there to run an unrelated errand during those hours is a citable violation.
Are Loading Zone restrictions in effect on Sundays?
No. Section 10.16.080 excludes Sunday from the restricted hours entirely, so a marked Loading Zone functions as ordinary curb parking on Sundays, and it also reverts to normal parking outside the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. window on every other day of the week.
How long can a delivery truck stay in a Loading Zone?
Section 10.16.080 does not set a fixed time limit, but it only permits parking there for expeditious loading, unloading, delivering, or picking up of materials or merchandise. A truck that lingers well past the time needed for that activity is no longer within the exception and can be cited.
