Babylon enforces an overnight street parking ban from 2 AM to 6 AM between November 15 and April 1 under Code 191-13. Outside winter months, vehicles parked more than 48 hours in one spot can be ticketed or towed as abandoned.
The winter ban ensures snow plows from the Babylon Highway Department can clear streets efficiently. Residents with driveway shortages can apply for a seasonal overnight permit through the Town Clerk (typically $25) in limited cases. Hotel guests and medical emergencies are covered by temporary hang-tags issued by Suffolk County Police. Village of Babylon (incorporated village within the town) has additional year-round 3 AM to 5 AM ban on select streets.
Winter overnight ticket: $50, increasing to $100 after 5 days. Tow and storage: approximately $200 initial plus $35/day. Permit fraud: $250 and permit revocation.
