Please remember, folks, that front-yard parking is against City Ordinance, and you can be ticketed for it.The Springfield Neighborhoods Plan identifies front yard parking as one of a number of recurring nuisances that negatively affect neighborhoods. It can create ruts and increase erosion. Combined with other nuisances it causes an aesthetic deterioration of the neighborhood. General Ordinance #5166 states it is against City Ordinance to park a vehicle or trailer of any kind in the front yard of private property. The front yard is considered the area of land that faces a street in front of the house. If a house is on a corner lot and faces two streets, then both sides are considered a front yard. The ticket will be issued to the registered owner of the vehicle and it will be a $25 fine. To report, call 911 if the vehicle or trailer is in the front yard at the time of the call. This will allow police to be dispatched. If the vehicle is not in the front yard at all times, but is a persistent problem, contact the Citizen Resource Center at 864-1010 or springfieldmo.gov/request.
