LaPorte County, IN Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

01(A) bars motor vehicles from parking on county road rights-of-way, shoulders, or along the side of county highways, with exceptions for emergency situations, road and highway repair and maintenance equipment, farm implements, and vehicles making pickups or deliveries or loading and unloading, provided those vehicles minimize the time they spend parked on the right-of-way. 01(B) directs the County Highway Department to post No Parking signs intermittently on county roads wherever the County Highway Engineer decides they are needed to carry out the section's purpose, meaning enforcement is signage-driven rather than an automatic blanket ban announced only in the code book.

The chapter was adopted as Ord. 97-27 on October 14, 1997. 02 lets the County Highway Department, with the County Engineer's approval, issue a limited-duration parking permit for specific county roads upon application, for a $50 fee. That two-section structure, a default no-parking rule paired with a permit route, is how the county handles requests such as contractor staging or special events without amending the ordinance itself. 54, showing the county keeps courthouse, park, and general road parking under separate provisions rather than one omnibus parking code.
