Overnight Parking: Boulder vs Longmont

Can I park on the street overnight?

Check Boulder local ordinances. Many areas restrict parking between 2 AM and 6 AM or require overnight permits.

How do I get an overnight parking permit?

Contact Boulder city hall or parking authority. Resident permit programs vary by neighborhood.

Is overnight parking legal on Longmont streets?

Yes for passenger vehicles. Longmont does not impose a citywide overnight parking ban on cars and light trucks. The default limit under LMC Chapter 11.12 is that a vehicle may remain in the same location for up to 48 hours, must then be moved at least 600 feet away, and may not return for at least seven days. Sleeper vehicles - RVs, campers, motorhomes, and trailer coaches - are prohibited on the public way at any hour unless covered by a $25, 7-day permit.

Do I have to move my car off the street during a Longmont snowstorm?

No. Longmont does not declare snow-emergency parking bans and does not plow on-street parking lanes, so vehicles are not required to be moved off the street during a storm. The city focuses plowing resources on its 146-mile snow-route network (arterials, hospital routes, and collector streets serving buses). Residents are responsible for digging out their own vehicles after a plow has passed.
