Sumyer County Ord. No. 96-23, § 9, 12-16-96; Ord. No. 2003-1, 1-14-03, states:

"c. Parking. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Green Book, on-street parking is not allowed except when specifically approved by the commission."

The "Green Book" pertains to building requirements for developers, including street/road dimensions, etc.

So, given this Ordinance, unless Sumter County has approved parking for an area/street, I'd say parking is not allowed on the street and it would be up to the County Deputy Sheriffs to enforce parking, should they so desire. Personally, I don't like taking the risk of being towed, so I wouldn't park on the street. You never know when a neighbor might decide to call about it or when a Deputy Sheriff should decide to act upon it.
