Hartford County is not a governmental unit and has no parking rules. Connecticut has no statewide STR parking standard. Each town in the Hartford area sets its own off-street parking minimums through its zoning regulations, typically two off-street spaces per single-family dwelling, plus on-street rules and winter overnight parking bans common to Connecticut municipalities.
Because Connecticut abolished county government in 1960, Hartford County cannot adopt or enforce STR parking rules. Connecticut also has no statewide short-term rental parking statute. Parking standards come entirely from each town's zoning regulations and from CGS Title 14 statewide rules-of-the-road provisions. The City of Hartford zoning code sets off-street parking minimums in each zone district and prohibits front-yard parking on unpaved surfaces; West Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, Bristol, New Britain, Enfield, Glastonbury, and Farmington each have their own zoning standards, typically requiring two off-street spaces per single-family dwelling. Many Connecticut towns also have winter overnight on-street parking bans (commonly midnight-6 a.m., November through April) and snow-emergency parking bans enforced by local police. Guest vehicles must not block fire hydrants, sidewalks, driveways, or designated emergency lanes; CGS Sec 14-251 governs general parking obstructions statewide. Confirm specific minimums and on-street rules with each town's planning, zoning, or police department.
There is no county-level parking citation. Towns enforce off-street parking minimums through zoning enforcement (typically warning followed by per-day fine). On-street violations - obstructing hydrants, blocking driveways, parking during snow emergencies, or violating winter overnight bans - are enforced by local police and CGS Sec 14-251, with towing and fines that vary by municipality.
