Jessamine County, KY Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Chapter 71 of the Jessamine County Code is titled Parking and holds a single section, § 71.01, Parking Prohibited at All Times. The Fiscal Court adopted it by ordinance passed 2-6-2018, and the rest of the Traffic Code title sits behind a reserved Chapter 70.

Subsection (A) makes it unlawful to park a motor vehicle, or to permit any motor vehicle to stand or to wait, at any time in any place listed under the Location heading in the section's table. The table names one street: Corman Lane, both sides, except in designated public parking areas. Standing and waiting are covered along with parking, so the rule reaches a driver who stops at the curb as well as one who leaves a car overnight.

The ordinance carves out two situations. A driver can stop when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with the directions of a law enforcement officer or a traffic control device. Nothing else in the section excuses a stop on the listed street outside the designated public parking areas.

Enforcement is assigned to peace officers of the County Sheriff's Office under subsection (B), who cite violators to the county district court. Subsection (C) sets the penalty at a fine of up to $200 for each violation. Subsection (D) adds a towing power that sits with the County Sheriff and his or her designated deputy. It applies only after a personal determination that citing violators to court might not remove the immediate safety hazard posed by vehicles parking illegally. When that determination is made, the offending vehicle or vehicles can be towed at the owner's expense, in addition to the citation for violating the section.

This is a county ordinance. Nicholasville and Wilmore keep their own codes, so parking on streets those cities control is governed by their rules and not by Chapter 71.
