No county parking ordinance. Street parking rules are set by individual municipalities. Contact your city or town public works or police department for local regulations.
Worcester County enforces posted parking restrictions and local time limits. MA has no statewide street parking time limit. Winter parking bans are extremely common across MA communities (typically November 1-April 1 or during snow emergencies) to facilitate plowing. Permit parking zones exist near commercial areas and transit. Vehicles must be registered. Parking near fire hydrants (10 feet) and driveways is prohibited.
Overtime parking: $15 to $50. Winter ban/snow emergency: $50 to $100 + towing. Fire hydrant: $50 to $150.
