Summary
Section 351.10 of the Oregon, Ohio Codified Ordinances bars parking any vehicle on any city street for more than eighteen consecutive hours, including Sundays and holidays. The rule functions as the city's long-term street parking limit, enforced by the Division of Police with escalating misdemeanor penalties for repeat offenders.
(a) No person shall park a vehicle at any place on any street in the City for a period of time longer than eighteen hours, including Sundays and holidays. ... (b) Whoever violates any provision of this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; on a second offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree; on each subsequent offense within one year after the first offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
Full Breakdown
10(a) sets a flat eighteen-hour cap on how long a vehicle may sit in one spot on any street in the City of Oregon, Ohio: no person shall park a vehicle at any place on any street for a period of time longer than eighteen hours, including Sundays and holidays. Because the limit runs continuously through Sundays and holidays with no listed exception for those days, a car left on a residential street over a long weekend can accumulate a violation even though no meter or posted sign is involved; the eighteen-hour clock is the ordinance's only trigger.
16, so an officer checking a vehicle for one violation routinely checks it against all three. Enforcement is the Division of Police's responsibility, and the penalty structure mirrors the rest of Chapter 351: a first offense is charged as a minor misdemeanor, with the charge rising for anyone caught again within the following year.
Violations & Fines
Section 351.10(b) makes a first violation a minor misdemeanor. A second offense within one year of the first is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, and a third or later offense within that same one-year window is a third-degree misdemeanor, each level carrying a larger fine than the last.
