Boulder regulates overnight parking on public streets. Many areas restrict parking between certain hours or require permits for overnight street parking.
Boulder may restrict overnight street parking, typically between 2 AM and 6 AM. Some areas require overnight parking permits while others ban it entirely on certain streets. Restrictions help with street sweeping, snow removal, and crime prevention. Vehicles parked overnight without authorization may be ticketed or towed. Some neighborhoods have resident permit parking programs for overnight exceptions.
Parking tickets typically $25 to $75. Vehicles may be towed at owner expense ($150 to $300+ plus daily storage).
