Transportation and Public Works is now Sonoma Public Infrastructure - Website updates coming soon!
Establishing No Parking Zones
Establishment of a 'No Parking' or 'Restricted Parking' zone must be approved by the Board of Supervisors, and requires reasonable justification. If you are trying to request a No Parking zone, the consent of local residents will likely by a requirement. To inquire about the establishment of restricted parking, please contact SPI at (707) 565-2550 or email spi@sonoma-county.org.
