Summary
Kane County does not run a countywide residential street-parking permit system. On public streets, the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5) applies, and each city or village sets its own on-street parking rules. County parking regulations govern county-owned lots and unincorporated private yards, not neighborhood curbs.
The parking of motor vehicles in these areas, whether marked by color coding or numbered minutes or described as 'Restricted Parking', 'Reserved-County Board', 'Reserved-Judiciary', shall be restricted and limited to such Kane County officers, employees, officials and other persons transacting county business.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2026 S-17: Code current through: Ord. 26-183, passed 4-14-2026).
Full Breakdown
Street parking on public roads in Kane County is controlled by the Illinois Vehicle Code and by the municipality whose street it is. The county's own parking ordinance (Sec. 21-13) covers only lots inside the Kane County Government Center, Courthouse complex, youth home, diagnostic center and circuit clerk premises, restricting them to county officers, employees and people transacting county business. For residential curb rules, check your city or village. On unincorporated county land, the nuisance code regulates where vehicles may sit in a yard, not street striping.
Violations & Fines
On-street violations are enforced by the municipality or sheriff under the Illinois Vehicle Code; county-lot violations fall under Sec. 21-13 as posted.
