Full Breakdown
Article III of Chapter 74 governs on-street parking in unincorporated Coweta County. Sec. 74-56 establishes more than 40 named no-parking zones by ordinance amendment, covering stretches such as both sides of Amlajack Boulevard from Bullsboro Drive to its dead end, the full length of Aces Circle between Highway 34 and Highway 154 (effective December 4, 2008), and portions of Herring Road, Dart Road, and Old Corinth Road; the board of commissioners regularly amends this list, most recently through Ord. No. 026-23 (7-11-23). Separately, Sec. 74-57 restricts parking at any county public facility or recreational property to areas marked or signed for vehicle parking, bars leaving a vehicle on such property while it is closed, and makes it unlawful anywhere in the county to create a traffic hazard by parking a vehicle or trailer in a public road right-of-way, whether or not that road appears on the Sec.
74-56 list. Any vehicle or trailer found in violation of Sec. 74-57, including one parked in a designated no-parking zone or blocking a right-of-way, may be towed at the owner's expense. The section does not specify a fixed dollar fine; enforcement runs through towing and the county's general Code violation process.
Violations & Fines
Parking within a numbered no-parking zone established by Sec. 74-56, or parking anywhere in the county so as to create a traffic hazard in a road right-of-way under Sec. 74-57(2), is unlawful. Parking on county-owned facility or park property outside marked, signed spaces, or leaving a vehicle there after closing hours, also violates Sec. 74-57(1). Any vehicle or trailer parked in violation of the section may be towed from the facility, property, or right-of-way at the owner's expense under Sec. 74-57(3).
