Kings County, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Under Kings County Code section 23-34, the Board of Supervisors may, by order, set parking regulations on streets, highways, roads, alleys, and lanes in the unincorporated area and on county-owned property, and must have those roads marked accordingly. Section 23-36 requires that where there is no curb, suitable signs be erected stating the parking regulation. Section 23-35 establishes the curb-color legend (see curb-painting topic). The County has adopted only a few specific on-street restrictions by name; for example, section 23-37 prohibits parking on portions of Park Street and First Avenue in the unincorporated Avenal area, and angle-parking sections govern Avenal, Stratford, and Armona (secs. 23-39 to 23-41). Most rural county roads have no special local parking limit, so the baseline rules come from the California Vehicle Code, including section 22500 (places where stopping is prohibited, such as crosswalks, intersections, sidewalks, and in front of driveways). The County's parking restrictions are enforceable only where signs or curb markings are actually posted (sec. 23-45 confirms restrictions take effect only once signs or markings are in place).
