Taylor, MI Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

Article IX of Chapter 48, adopted by Ordinance No. 2017-494 on May 16, 2017, lets the Taylor City Council create resident-only parking zones where non-resident vehicles crowd curbside spaces. Section 48-215 currently designates three zones: Huron Street, Mayfair Street, and Weddel Street, each running from the north right-of-way line of the public alley north of Ecorse Road to the south right-of-way line of Philomene Street. Section 48-216 lets the council open a designation hearing on the mayor's initiative, the council's own initiative, or a petition signed by 65 percent of residents on the block, with published notice and an option to mail notice to every address within 300 feet.

Once a zone is designated, Sec. 48-218 requires the mayor's designee to mail residents an application, and Sec. 48-219 caps issuance at two resident vehicle permits and two guest permits per residential parcel, each tied to a vehicle carrying current state plates and belonging to the zone's actual occupant. Section 48-220 bars any vehicle from parking curbside in a designated zone without a displayed permit, and it exempts public-utility vehicles working in the zone, government vehicles on official business, and authorized emergency vehicles under Sec.

48-221. The chief of police may also issue temporary daily permits for guests beyond the normal allotment on written request. Misusing or displaying a permit a vehicle is not entitled to is a violation of the article and draws a $100.00 civil infraction under Sec. 48-220(e).
