In November 2017 the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve Winter Parking Ordinance 2017-11. This ordinance prohibits parking at all times along County maintained rights-of-way between November 1 and April 1 and allows for the civil enforcement of parking restrictions either by citation (not less than $200 fine) or towing. This ordinance was intended to help reduce the detrimental effects of snow play, which create safety hazards for visitors and adversely impact area residents’ quality of life through illegal parking, littering and trespassing on private property. 

In November 2022 the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved amendments to this ordinance to create Winter Parking Ordinance 2022-06, which enables the Sheriff’s Office to enhance enforcement during the winter recreation season.
