Posted on 06/10/2009 6:29:47 PM PDT by Jessica2677

Does anyone know if this is legal? We just got a parking ticket for parking in the grass in our own yard. The ticket says "can not park on grass or unpaved area(even if your own yard). I swear to god this is what the ticket says and its a $50 ticket that doubles to $100 then doubles to $200 Does anyone know anything about this law????

Do you live in a blue state? If so, it’s not surprising. Either way, that sucks.

Lot more info would be helpful. Such as location, state, city, who gave the ticket, etc. I suspect if it’s a legal ticket signed by an officer then you’d best answer the summons.

Do you have deed restrictions on the lot where you own your home?

Do you live in an area with a Home Owners’ Association? They make some pretty Stalinesque rules. Were you in the city’s right-of-way, even though in front of your house?

Would think you’d get a warning first.

Probably a local ordinance. You can try to take it to court but I don't think anyone has ever won.

Some places it is legal. It was probably enacted to prevent people from leaving junk cars on their front yard. In one town I lived in, it was illegal to park your car overnight on the street in front of your house. It had to be parked in the driveway.

Parking on the grass is an environmental codes violation in Metro Nashville. Fifty-buck fine here, too.

No there’s no homeowners assoc. The car was parked 4 feet from our front door.
