Summary
Anoka County sets no overnight parking rule; cities do. Blaine bans street parking from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. between November 1 and April 1 without an emergency permit. Coon Rapids bans it 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. over the same season.
From November 1 to April 1, no person shall park or permit to be parked any vehicle on any highway, street, or alley between the hours of 2AM and 7AM without an emergency parking permit issued by the police department.
Full Breakdown
Overnight parking bans are seasonal winter measures set by each city, not by Anoka County. Blaine §82-151 prohibits parking on any highway, street, or alley between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. from November 1 to April 1 unless the police department issues an emergency parking permit. Coon Rapids Ordinance 9-122 prohibits street parking between 2 and 6 a.m. across the same November 1 to April 1 window. These bans keep streets clear for plows.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles parked during the ban may be ticketed and towed; Coon Rapids may tow cars that block plows at the owner's expense.
