Full Breakdown
Curb loading zones in unincorporated Jackson County are set only after the requester applies for a curb loading zone permit under County Code § 5222. The County Traffic Engineer collects a $10 application fee (refunded if denied) and, once signs go up, a $2-per-linear-foot annual service fee paid to the county treasury. Permits expire every December 31 and must be renewed by February 1; the permit holder pays all design, construction and maintenance costs. This is a county-road rule. Kansas City, Independence, Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Raytown and Grandview regulate loading zones under their own municipal codes.
Violations & Fines
Loading or standing in a signed curb loading zone without a permit, or outside posted hours, is a parking violation the County Traffic Engineer's signage enforces; unpermitted zones aren't recognized.
