Summary

Unincorporated Bartholomew County has no general on-street parking code. Chapter 73's only enacted no-parking zones are two specific stretches: County Road 1140 E and two Oakcrest Subdivision streets, and even those apply only from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Everywhere else, on-street parking along county roads is not separately restricted.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Bartholomew County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Full Breakdown

R. R. R. 1100 E; fines collected under that schedule go into the county's General Fund rather than a special account. R. R. R. 50 W and Hickory Lane. window set by Prior Code § 7-93, matching the hours used for the subdivision's one-way street rules in the adjoining schedule. The County Highway Superintendent is directed to erect and maintain no-parking signage on the affected streets for those hours; without posted signs the restriction does not take practical effect. Outside these two mapped zones, drivers along unincorporated county roads are not subject to a countywide parking ordinance covering driveway blocking or wrong-direction parking; those situations fall to whatever state traffic law applies rather than a Bartholomew County-specific rule.

Violations & Fines

Chapter 73 carries no standalone fine schedule; each schedule closes with "Penalty, see § 70.99," which in turn defaults to § 10.99's general penalty for any traffic-code violation without its own fine. Under § 10.99, a conviction is punished by a fine of up to $2,500 per offense, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense. The county may also seek a civil injunction against a continuing violation of a parking regulation or condition of property use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is parking restricted on every county road in unincorporated Bartholomew County?
No. The county's only enacted no-parking zones are C.R. 1140 E and two streets in the Oakcrest Subdivision. Other county roads carry no separate parking restriction under Chapter 73 of the county code.
What hours does the Oakcrest no-parking rule cover?
Only 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. per Prior Code § 7-93. Outside that window, parking on C.R. 50 W and Julia Drive in the Oakcrest Subdivision is not restricted by this schedule.
What happens if the county hasn't posted no-parking signs yet?
The Highway Superintendent is directed to erect signage for the designated hours, and enforcement in practice depends on those signs being in place along the mapped streets.
