Full Breakdown

Section 11.20.040 of the Taylorsville City Code lists the specific spots where stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle is always prohibited: in front of or within five feet of a private driveway or alley, in front of or within ten feet of a mailbox between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on days mail is delivered, within twenty feet of a crosswalk, and within thirty feet of an intersection. This section, amended by Ordinance 26-05 in April 2026, targets sightline and access hazards rather than duration.

A companion time-based rule at section 11.20.080 separately bans parking any vehicle or trailer on a street or highway after or during snow or ice accumulation until the street is cleared, for longer than twenty four consecutive hours, or beyond any posted time limit shown by signs, markings, or parking meters. Together the two sections mean a car can be lawfully parked at the curb yet still violate the code if it sits for more than a day or blocks a driveway, mailbox delivery window, crosswalk, or intersection sightline.

Section 11.20.085 adds a further ban on parking in a private road, driveway, turnaround, or twenty foot clear zone that serves emergency access. Under section 11.20.120, when an officer finds a vehicle parked in violation of the title, the officer may move the vehicle or require the driver to relocate it, and section 11.20.110 creates a rebuttable presumption that the registered owner controlled an illegally parked car. No parking-specific fine is written into these sections, so violations are enforced as an infraction or misdemeanor under the code's general penalty at 1.08.020, punishable by up to six months in jail or a fine under one thousand dollars when no other penalty is prescribed.

Violations & Fines

Parking within five feet of a driveway, ten feet of a mailbox during delivery hours, twenty feet of a crosswalk, or thirty feet of an intersection violates section 11.20.040. Leaving a vehicle on a street for more than twenty four consecutive hours, during snow removal, or beyond a posted time limit violates section 11.20.080. Officers may relocate an illegally parked vehicle under section 11.20.120, and the registered owner is presumed to have controlled it under section 11.20.110; absent a specific penalty, violations fall under the general code penalty at 1.08.020.
