Parking enforcement
Checking that parked vehicles are permitted, and acting when they are not.
Parking enforcement is the process of checking parked vehicles against the permit register and responding to the ones that do not match — typically a warning, then a citation, and at the far end a tow.
On private property the authority comes from the property’s own rules and its posted signage, not from a municipal code, which is why the documented process matters more than the penalty. The three things that decide whether enforcement survives a challenge are the same every time: what was observed, when it was observed, and whether the rule applied was the rule in force at that moment.
