Description

Parking enforcement by the Homeowners' Association (HOA) can be an especially frustrating problem for both boards and members, because it concerns one of the most valuable items in a homeowner's possession: their vehicle. Most HOAs have rules for parking laid out in their Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions and rules, typically covering restrictions such as: (1) What types of vehicles are allowed (commercial, recreational, etc.); (2) Where members may park; and (3) How long a vehicle may be parked in one spot. Maryland Parking Rules and Regulations of Homeowners' Association are guidelines that govern the parking practices and regulations within residential communities in the state. These rules are put in place to promote order, efficiency, and safety within these neighborhoods. Homeowners' associations (Has) play a significant role in enforcing and overseeing these regulations. There are several types of Maryland Parking Rules and Regulations that Has may establish based on the unique needs and characteristics of their communities. Some common types include: 1. Guest Parking Regulations: — Guest parking areas are designated for non-residents and visitors. — Time limits may be imposed to prevent long-term parking by non-residents. — Visitors may be required to display parking permits or obtain guest passes. 2. Assigned Parking Spaces: — Some homeowners' associations assign specific parking spaces to residents or units. — These spaces may be numbered or labeled with corresponding unit numbers. — Owners and residents are expected to park only in their assigned spaces. 3. Visitor Parking Passes: — In communities with limited guest parking, Has may issue visitor parking passes or permits. — These passes allow visitors to park within specified areas and time limits. — Residents may need to request and provide these passes to their guests. 4. Overnight Parking Restrictions: CompassAs may have regulations limiting overnight parking on streets or common areas. — This restriction helps prevent congestion and ensures the availability of parking spaces. — Exemptions might be granted for special circumstances, such as overnight guests. 5. Vehicle Identification: HasAs may require residents to register their vehicles. — This process typically involves providing the make, model, license plate number, and contact information for each vehicle. — Registration helps monitor and enforce compliance with parking rules. 6. Towing and Violation Consequences: — Parking violations, such as parking in unauthorized areas or exceeding time limits, may result in penalties. — Violating parking regulations can lead to fines, warnings, or even towing at the owner's expense. HasAs often maintain contracts with towing companies for enforcement purposes. 7. Handicap Parking: HasAs are required to comply with state and federal laws regarding accessible parking for disabled residents and visitors. — Designated handicap parking spaces should be clearly marked and meet specific criteria, such as appropriate signage and accessibility features. It is important for residents and homeowners to familiarize themselves with the specific Maryland Parking Rules and Regulations established by their respective homeowners' associations. By adhering to these guidelines, they contribute to the overall harmony and functionality of the community.
