Full Breakdown
On-street parking in Macomb County is controlled by state law and each municipality, not a countywide ordinance. MCL 257.674 bars parking on a sidewalk, in front of a driveway, within an intersection, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, on or within 20 feet of a crosswalk, and within 30 feet of a stop sign or signal; violation is a civil infraction. The Macomb County Sheriff provides primary policing in Harrison, Lenox, Macomb, New Haven, and Washington Townships and Mt. Clemens. County roads are maintained by the Macomb County Department of Roads (586-463-8671), which permits driveway approaches but does not set residential curb-parking hours.
Violations & Fines
Street-parking violations are civil infractions under MCL 257.674(4), enforced by local police or the Sheriff. The county's 42-1 District Court lists a $25.00 parking fine and a $200.00 disabled-space fine, cut to $25.00 with a valid permit within 10 days.
