County Adopts New Parking Rules Aimed at Clearing Out Long‑Term Vehicles

Adams County has adopted new parking rules aimed at clearing out long‑term and abandoned vehicles from county lots. The ordinance gives deputies the power to issue fines and, in some cases, tow cars on the spot if they block fire lanes, handicap spaces, or create safety hazards. Commissioners say the goal isn’t to be heavy‑handed—just to keep county property used for county business.
