Springdale, AR Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Springdale's on-street parking rules combine state statute with local ordinance. Arkansas Code §27-51-1301 through §27-51-1309 sets the statewide setbacks - 15 feet from a fire hydrant, 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, 30 feet from a stop sign or traffic-control signal - and bans parking on sidewalks, in front of driveways, on bridges and in tunnels. Chapter 114 of the Springdale Code of Ordinances (Traffic and Vehicles) lays the local framework, including signed time limits, no-parking and tow-away zones. In July 2015 the Springdale City Council adopted an amendment to the residential-street parking rules making it unlawful for a person to park a vehicle in front of a residence they do not own for more than three hours in any 24-hour period; the ordinance is enforced on a complaint-driven basis - if the property owner does not complain, no citation issues. Side, rear and front yard parking on residential property itself is regulated by the Springdale Zoning Ordinance Article 7, which requires a durable surface, caps front-yard paving at 40 percent for single-/two-family lots, and was tightened by Council amendments in 2007 and 2014. Removal of unattended or abandoned vehicles from public streets follows A.C.A. §27-50-1201 through §27-50-1224. The Springdale Police Department handles on-street enforcement; Springdale Engineering/Public Works administers signed restrictions under Chapter 110.
