Amador County, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Amador County's parking rules live in Title 10, Chapter 10.12 (Parking, Stopping and Standing). Rather than a county-wide residential street-parking scheme, the chapter mostly defines parking in the county parking areas in the city of Jackson (the Court House Lot and county employee lots) and prohibits or restricts parking at named locations such as the Lancha Plana-Buena Vista Road Bridge, the Cosumnes River Bridge, Camanche Parkway North, Buckhorn Ridge Road near Pioneer Community Park, and the Pine Grove Park lot. The chapter's note expressly points to state law for general authority, citing California Vehicle Code Section 22507 (local authority to restrict parking) and Section 22504 (parking on highways in unincorporated areas). For violations, Section 10.12.015 provides that any person violating the chapter 'shall be guilty of an infraction and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine as provided in California Vehicle Code Section 42001,' with each day a separate offense; a fourth or repeat offense within twelve months can be charged as a misdemeanor under CVC 40000.28. Because the county does not impose a blanket time limit on ordinary rural roads, day-to-day street parking outside the regulated areas is governed by the California Vehicle Code (for example its prohibitions on blocking traffic, fire hydrants, and driveways). Local no-parking signs must be posted at least 24 hours before towing-based enforcement.
