Summary

Bonneville County bans parking in 13 specific locations, from fire hydrants to intersections, and only allows on-street parking where the road has enough pavement width to accommodate it.

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

Parking shall only be allowed on county streets which are designed with enough additional pavement width to allow for on street parking. No vehicle shall be parked upon any street within the county for a period of more than 48 consecutive hours in the same location. Any vehicle so parked or stored may be removed by or under the direction of any peace officer and may be impounded in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

01(D) further limits where on-street parking is allowed at all: only county streets built with enough extra pavement width for on-street parking may host it, and no vehicle may sit in the same spot on any county street for more than 48 consecutive hours.

Violations & Fines

A violation of Section 71.01 is an infraction under Section 71.99(A) carrying a $25 fine per violation; multiple vehicles in violation are each a separate offense, and each day it continues is a separate offense. Under Section 71.01(D), a vehicle parked in the same location longer than 48 consecutive hours may be removed by a peace officer and impounded, with the owner responsible for a reasonable towing and storage fee before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

How close to a fire hydrant can I park in Bonneville County?
No closer than 15 feet, under Section 71.01(C)(4), which also bars parking within an intersection or crosswalk. Parking within 20 feet of a fire station driveway is separately prohibited.
How long can a car sit in the same spot on a Bonneville County street?
No more than 48 consecutive hours in the same location. Section 71.01(D) allows a peace officer to remove and impound a vehicle left longer, with the owner owing a reasonable towing and storage fee to reclaim it.
Can I park facing against traffic on a Bonneville County road?
No. Section 71.01(C)(9) requires parked vehicles to face the direction of traffic flow; parking the wrong way is one of 13 prohibited parking situations listed in that subsection.
