Community Parking Policy


The Summerfield Homeowners Association would like to provide a brief explanation of how parking is regulated within our community and how these rules are enforced:


Private Roadways and Common Areas


All streets, parking areas, and common spaces within Summerfield are privately owned and maintained by the Association. Because of this, parking is governed by the Association’s Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Reservations, Conditions and Restrictions and any rules adopted by the Board, rather than by standard public street parking laws.


Where Parking Is Permitted


In general, vehicles may be parked only:


  1. In the individual driveway serving a unit, or
  2. In designated common parking areas identified on the community plat


Parking in other areas — including roadways, rights-of-way, sidewalks, or areas not specifically designated for parking — is not permitted.


Prohibited Parking


The governing documents prohibit:


  1. Obstructing roadways, parking areas, or rights-of-way
  2. Parking in a manner that restricts emergency or service vehicle access
  3. Overnight parking of commercial, business, or recreational vehicles in common areas
  4. Storing unlicensed, inoperable, or prohibited vehicle types in parking areas


These restrictions help maintain safety, ensure emergency access, and preserve the appearance of the community.


Enforcement Approach


The Association’s goal is compliance, not punishment. When a parking issue is observed:


  1. A courtesy or violation notice may be issued to inform the resident
  2. Residents are given the opportunity to correct the issue
  3. Continued or repeated violations may result in additional enforcement actions as permitted by the governing documents


Questions or Concerns


If you have questions about where parking is allowed or believe you received a notice in error, please contact the Association. We are always happy to help clarify the policy.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep Summerfield safe and accessible for all residents.


Document Basis


This policy explanation is based on Article VII – Use and Occupancy, including Sections 7.1(a)(6), (13), and (19) of the Summerfield governing documents, which regulate parking, rights-of-way, and vehicle restrictions
