On-street parking in York County is regulated by each municipality, not the county. York County has no jurisdiction over public streets in its boroughs and townships. In York City, for example, Article 513 of the codified ordinances governs on-street operation and parking, backed by Pennsylvania's Vehicle Code (Title 75).
York County does not police residential or downtown street parking — streets are controlled by the city, borough, or township, or by PennDOT on state routes. York City's Article 513 (Vehicle Operation and Parking) covers signs, prohibited zones, double parking, loading, and inoperable vehicles. Pennsylvania Title 75 (the Vehicle Code) supplies the statewide baseline. The only place the county directly controls parking is on roadways inside York County Parks under Chapter 75. For meters, permit zones, and time limits, contact your municipal parking bureau.
Street parking tickets are issued by municipal parking bureaus or police under local ordinance and PA Title 75; fines and towing are set locally (York City references towing under § 513.19 and § 513.25).
