Rountree Ordinance

Last Updated on Tuesday, 18 November 2008 20:51 Written by Rountree News Tuesday, 18 November 2008 20:46

Because Rountree is an Urban Conservation District, the area has specific ordinances with which you should be familiar. The following outlines what is enforced in the neighborhood:

1. Parking Permits
On-street parking is regulated in the western portion of the neighborhood because of its close proximity to the Southwest Missouri State University campus. Check street signs for exact regulations. Residents are allowed to park on the street provided a parking permit is displayed on the vehicle. Each dwelling unit within the parking district may obtain two parking stickers and one visitor’s permit. Proof of residency and vehicle information is required for the permits, which may be obtained from the city’s Licensing Division in the Busch building.

2. Front Yard and Sidewalk Parking
Vehicles cannot be parked in the front or side yard of a residence or on the sidewalk at any time.

3. Street Parking
Vehicles cannot be parked five feet or less from a driveway at any time.
