General Parking Provisions

 Parking Regulations

 

  1. All vehicles of residents must display a CPOA sticker on the back of the rear view mirror which can be viewed through the windshield.
  2. As per Fairfax County regulation each townhouse has two and three-tenths (2.3) parking spaces per townhouse with each garage townhouse allocated two (2) spaces: the garage and the driveway.
  3. In Coppermill the garage and the driveway are the only “reserved” parking spaces per townhouse.
  4. Remaining parking spaces are utilized on a first-come first-served basis. We currently have 149 common spaces to be shared by the Residents of our 218 townhouses.
  5. A vehicle parked in a common parking space with or without CPOA stickers shall not be parked in the same space longer than 48 hours.
  6. Special exceptions will be made to the 48 hour rule. For example, the residents of a townhouse have more than two cars and want to go on a vacation. In this instance the additional vehicles may be parked in common parking spaces for up to three weeks with out being moved. Special exceptions must be reported to Management or the vehicles will be subject to towing.

 

Send notice to the Management Company above that you will be away and will not be able to move your extra vehicle(s) during that time. Include the information listed below. Reminder: This is only necessary for vehicles parked in the common area spaces.  Each exemption is for a maximum of three weeks. Notice should be sent no more than two weeks prior to trip. Exemptions can only be granted to vehicles bearing a CPOA parking sticker.
