Plain-Language Summary

Virginia law allows counties to regulate parking on county-owned or leased property through ordinances, including prohibiting parking near fire hydrants. In parking violation cases, proof that a vehicle was parked illegally and that the owner was registered at the time creates a presumption that the owner committed the violation. This law provides counties with authority to enforce parking regulations effectively.
