Summary

Parking or storing a vehicle, RV, boat or trailer on a public street or right-of-way is banned in platted Reservoir Community District subdivisions, per Art. XXX § 3007.02.

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

Parking and/or storage of any vehicle, motor home, transient trailer, boat or trailer on a public street or public right-of-way is prohibited within any platted subdivision (excluding The Vineyards and all parts of Barnett Bend except Bend III, IIIA and Barnett Bend North Parts I, II, and III), or other districts where NO PARKING signs have been installed. EXCEPTION: Parking for isolated, non- recurring gatherings, parties, or visitors will be permitted.

Full Breakdown

Section 3007.02 bars parking or storage of any vehicle, motor home, transient trailer, boat or trailer on a public street or public right-of-way within platted subdivisions of the Reservoir Community District, and in other RCD areas posted with NO PARKING signs. The Vineyards and most of Barnett Bend are excluded by name, matching the yard-parking exception in Section 3007.01. Isolated, non-recurring gatherings, parties or visitor parking are allowed as a stated exception. The rule reaches only unincorporated county subdivisions near the Ross Barnett Reservoir, not Brandon, Pearl, Flowood or the county's other incorporated towns.

Violations & Fines

Leaving a vehicle, RV, boat or trailer parked on the street or right-of-way in a covered subdivision, outside the isolated-gathering exception, violates Section 3007.02.
