Santa Clarita, CA – On September 9, 2023, a parking dispute in a Santa Clarita neighborhood turned tense when a resident found a note on his legally parked car demanding he not park on the public street again, prompting him to confront the homeowner and triggering a 911 call. The incident, occurring in a city known for its community focus, highlights tensions over public parking rights and has sparked local debate about neighborly conduct.
On the morning of September 9, 2023, a Santa Clarita man parked his vehicle on a public street, as permitted by city regulations, which allow parking for up to 72 hours unless otherwise posted (Santa Clarita Municipal Code 15.44.220.A.12). Upon returning, he found a note on his windshield instructing him not to park there again, despite no legal restriction. Seeking clarity, the man knocked on the door of the nearby homeowner believed to have left the note. The homeowner, feeling threatened by the confrontation, called 911 to report the man as a potential trespasser or disturbance..
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the call, dispatched via the non-emergency line (661-260-4000), as advised for non-urgent issues by the city’s Resident Service Center. Deputies de-escalated the situation, clarifying that parking on public streets is legal unless signage indicates otherwise, and no citations or arrests were reported.
