Hamilton County does not regulate on-street parking. On-street parking rules, permit zones, and time limits are set by each incorporated city or village, or on unincorporated township roads by the township. State law (ORC 4511.68) lists baseline stopping-and-parking prohibitions that apply everywhere.
There is no Hamilton County ordinance governing where you may park on a public street; that authority sits with the roughly 40 municipalities and the townships. Statewide, ORC 4511.68 prohibits parking in a crosswalk, within an intersection, on a sidewalk, in front of a driveway, within specified distances of a fire hydrant or stop sign, and double-parking, and these baselines apply on every Ohio street. The Hamilton County Sheriff enforces traffic and parking law in the twelve unincorporated townships it serves; incorporated cities enforce their own street-parking codes.
Parking fines and towing for street violations are set and collected by the city, village, or township with jurisdiction over that road. State prohibitions in ORC 4511.68 are enforced by local police or the Sheriff.
