Street sweeping tickets and HOA parking rules surprise plenty of new SCV residents. Here is how the rules work and where to confirm them for a specific street.
How street sweeping and parking works in SCV communities
Street sweeping and on-street parking are regulated by the city or county, with posted schedules and signs, and HOAs frequently add their own parking restrictions in master-planned communities.
Specifics vary by community and by whether the parcel is in the City of Santa Clarita or unincorporated LA County. Confirm the rules that apply to a given address.
What to verify
- The posted street sweeping schedule for the specific street.
- Any overnight, permit, or time-limited parking rules.
- HOA restrictions on street, guest, and RV parking.
- Where and how to obtain any required parking permits.
Where the rules come from
These day-to-day rules can come from city or county ordinances, the homeowners association's governing documents, or both. Read the HOA's CC&Rs and rules, and check the relevant municipal code.
How to confirm for a specific address
- Determine the governing jurisdiction and any HOA.
- Request HOA governing documents during your contingency period.
- Confirm city or county rules with the City of Santa Clarita or LA County Public Works.
