Stark County does not regulate on-street parking on municipal streets; your city or township and ORC do. In Canton, a parked vehicle's curb-side wheels must be parallel to and within twelve inches of the curb.
On-street parking is a municipal and township matter, not a countywide county function (the Stark County Engineer handles county roads and rights-of-way). Canton City Code 351.03 sets the general standard for the county seat: vehicles shall be stopped or parked with the curb-side wheels parallel with and not more than twelve inches from the curb. The same section bars parking on sidewalks, curbs, street-lawn areas, within intersections, and in numerous marked locations. Massillon, Alliance, North Canton and each township adopt their own parking ordinances mirroring Ohio Revised Code Ch. 4511.
Illegal parking in Canton is a parking infraction handled by ticket; unpaid citations escalate under Canton 351.99 and can lead to towing. Penalty amounts are set by local ordinance.
