​FAQs

How do I determine who maintains a road?

It is County maintained only if it has the Cardinal Red Bird logo on it.  A State maintained road will have the round State Seal logo and S-42-#. S stands for State, 42 for Spartanburg County and the following for the State road number.

See pictures below.

What about on-street parking?

Spartanburg County Public Works does not regulate on-street parking because our department does not have the authority to determine where residents can and cannot park.  Therefore, parking regulations are typically developed and enforced by your Home Owners Association.  If you do not have an HOA, the county will only intervene if the parking practice is a safety hazard (obstructs emergency vehicle access, atop of a sidewalk, obstructs a stop sign, etc.) rather than a nuisance.
