Taylorsville, UT Parking Rules: Preferential Parking Districts (2026)

Chapter 11.22, the Parking Permit Program, exists because schools, college complexes and large buildings draw commuters who compete with residents for on street parking in predominantly residential neighborhoods, per section 11.22.010. The program lets qualifying residents and businesses get preferential treatment over commuter vehicles for on street parking, administered by the community development director. To start, section 11.22.050 requires proponents to petition with signatures from at least 51 percent of residents in the proposed area, then submit a Salt Lake County assessor's list of tax parcels and owners.

Section 11.22.040 sets eligibility criteria the community development director evaluates: a major portion of parking capacity generally occupied for a consecutive four hour period on average four days a week, at least 25 percent of on street vehicles being non-area vehicles, and curb space fronting a minimum of two contiguous residences. Once designated, area residents and businesses receive area regular permits or guest permits (capped at 45 days) exempting their vehicles from commuter parking restrictions under section 11.22.120. Enlargement follows the same designation procedure in section 11.22.150, while removal or modification of an area requires public notice and a hearing before the city council under sections 11.22.160 and 11.22.170.

Violations are set out in section 11.22.180: illegal parking contrary to the area's regulations draws a fine up to $100, permit misuse or counterfeiting is unlawful, and falsely applying for or misusing a permit is a class B misdemeanor. Permit holders can lose their permit as part of sentencing or by community development director revocation, appealable to the mayor within seven days under section 11.22.140. The chapter dates to Ordinance 06-30 (September 6, 2006), amended by Ordinance 12-15 (July 11, 2012).
