On-street parking in Harford County is regulated by the county on county roads and by each town within its limits. Bel Air runs permit-only residential parking districts; vehicles must not block hydrants, driveways, or crosswalks.
There is no statewide street-parking time limit in Maryland, so rules are local. Most residential streets in unincorporated Harford County allow parking, subject to the standard prohibitions against blocking fire hydrants, driveways, crosswalks, and intersections. The Town of Bel Air designates preferential residential parking areas as permit-only during posted hours and days; on petition from two-thirds of the residents of a street, the Board of Town Commissioners may establish a permit district, and a vehicle parked there without a valid permit is deemed illegally parked and its owner guilty of a municipal infraction. Aberdeen and Havre de Grace post their own time limits and permit zones downtown.
Parking without a valid permit in a Bel Air permit district is a municipal infraction carrying a fine. Blocking a hydrant, crosswalk, or driveway draws a ticket and possible towing under county and municipal parking rules.
