Washtenaw County does not regulate on-street parking; each city and township does. Ann Arbor bars parking in the front open space except on a driveway and can declare an on-street snow parking ban with at least 12 hours notice.
On public streets, parking is controlled by the local municipality and the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code, not the county. In Ann Arbor, Code Sec. 5:166(1) prohibits parking a motor vehicle in the front open space except on the driveway, in a structure, or in an approved space. During significant snowfall the city may declare an on-street snow parking ban: bans are announced at least 12 hours in advance and remain until lifted, and vehicles left on the street may be ticketed and/or towed. Residential permit zones apply near the University of Michigan campus.
Violating a snow ban or posted restriction: ticket and/or tow at the owner's expense. Front-open-space parking is a civil infraction under Ann Arbor Chapter 59.
