Jefferson County (Louisville Metro) street parking is governed by LMCO Chapter 72 and enforced by PARC (Parking Authority of River City) and Louisville Metro Police. Restrictions vary by neighborhood, posted signage, and permit zones. Inoperable/unregistered vehicles must be stored in an enclosed garage, not on the street.
Since the 2003 merger, all street parking in Jefferson County follows Louisville Metro Code Chapter 72. PARC enforces paid and time-limited parking in commercial and downtown areas; Metro Police handle residential street violations. Restrictions are established by posted signage, permit-only zones, and the general standards of § 72.035. Parking in the front or street-side yard of residential properties is allowed only on a hard or semi-pervious driveway no wider than 20 feet. Inoperable or unregistered vehicles must be kept inside an enclosed garage — not on streets, driveways, or open lots. Parking violations carry fines under § 72.999, and vehicles may be towed.
Parking violations: PARC citations under LMCO § 72.999. Inoperable/unregistered vehicles on street: code enforcement. Towing at owner's expense for serious violations.
