Is it against the law to park on the street in front of a neighbor's house?

It's not against the law unless there is signs to that fact. But you need to understand that the law may take the side of this neighbor, depending on the status of this neighbor in the community. Judges will also take sides, more so in small towns but it happens in large ones also. Be sure to keep the letter as long as you and this person are neighbors..

We had a crotchety old guy that lived across the street that used to flip out when ANYONE parked in front of his house for any reason. Since the HOA referred her to the police that says it's a public street & there is NOTHING they can do - they will be told by the sheriff and/or police department that it is a public street, and people are free to park there. If there is nowhere else your daughter could park, maybe she can put her car where it is more towards the "border" of her property & it might quiet her down. If she's like our old neighbor (who has since moved, THANK GOD) talking to her about it won't matter, and parking elsewhere makes it look like she "won" the fight so just ignore her rants. She needs to get a different hobby other than being the neighborhood nazi & lighten up. BTW - save the note in case things get ugly... she could very well be charged with harrassment if it continues.

On a public street you park anywhere you want, but there are usually limits. (boats. campers etc)

You mentioned HOA. If you have a HOA it may not be a public street, but a development property. You are then subject to the rules of the HOA whatever they may be. Many HOA restrict parking heavily so the neighborhood doesn't take on the used car lot look.

It is not against the law to park on any public street as long as there are no signs stating so for what ever reason for example: handicapped. The only exception would be if you lived in a gated community and the board or association made some goofy rule against it. And trust we do have some of them around, for whatever reason. You neighbor can call who ever she or he wants as long as your daughter isn't breaking the law, that doesn't mean it's right or normal but she can call. Apparantly you are living next to a strange person. They can't threathen you or your child but if they do you can legally file charges against them.

IMO if it is a public street, anyone can park there. It is a good thing the neighbor wrote that note so you can keep it for evidence of that persons attitude.

Regardless of whether or not your daughter was parked illegally, the letter that the neighbor in question left on the windshield sounds like it clearly constitutes harassment if nothing else. I hope you or your daughter held on to the note in question to use as evidence and did not throw it out.

You can park anywhere in the street as long it don't say YOU CAN NOT or in front of his driveway or a hydrant. You should call the authority your self and present the letter and explain.

It is not against any law that I am aware of, but it is common courtesy to not park in front of someones house. At least not on a regular basis.
