Overnight and winter street parking is set by your city, not Dakota County. Many cities ban overnight or snow-season street parking. The county's own overnight rule applies only in its parks, which close at 10:00 p.m.
There is no county-wide overnight street-parking ban; each Dakota County city sets its own. Farmington bans street parking from 2:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. between November 1 and April 15. Eagan uses an odd/even daytime schedule Nov 15 to Apr 15 and allows overnight parking on both sides only from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. In Dakota County parks, Ordinance 107 makes it unlawful to leave a vehicle standing after posted closing hours (parks are open 5:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.) without a valid camping or other permit.
City overnight/winter violations bring a ticket and possible tow at the owner's expense. County-park after-hours parking under Ordinance 107 is a petty misdemeanor.
