City reminds citizens to remember the yard parking rules during Fiesta celebrations

Viva Fiesta! As the city gets ready for their annual 10-day celebration of food, parades and various festivities, the City’s Housing and Neighborhood Services Code Compliance Division and the Police Department want to send a friendly reminder about the parking rules during this time of celebration.

Citizens need to remember that it is illegal to park vehicles on front and side lawn or to sell your yard space for parking at anytime. Violation of the City’s front/side ordinance may result in a parking citation and/or a significant fine to the property owner. This rule will be strictly enforced during the Alamodome Fiesta Carnival, Fiesta Oyster Bake, Night in Old San Antonio and the King William Fair as well as several other Fiesta events.

In addition to front/side yard parking, partygoers who park in vacant lots or other non-permitted parking areas may be subject to having their vehicle towed at their expense.

Code and Police Officers are encouraging Fiesta participants to adhere to all City codes to ensure a safe environment for all citizens who are attending Fiesta events. Citizens are asked to call 3-1-1 to report possible parking violations.
