Summary

From November 1 through March 1, Davis County bans parking any vehicle on an unincorporated public street between midnight and 6 a.m. Emergency personnel and residents holding a Sheriff's Office permit and sticker are exempt; everyone else risks a class C misdemeanor citation.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Davis County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

It is unlawful for any person who owns or has possession, control, or custody of any vehicle to park, allow, or permit another person to park any such vehicle or equipment upon any public street or highway within the unincorporated territory of Davis County: Between the hours of twelve midnight and six a.m. from November 1st to March 1st, except as follows: Physicians, emergency medical service providers, law enforcement officers, or fire department personnel during emergency calls or circumstances; or Residents or their guests or invitees, when required by emergency or other unusual circumstances, who have been issued a permit for overnight parking and display a sticker issued by the Davis County Sheriff's Office on the vehicle or farm equipment in a place which is readily visible from outside the vehicle. When the removal of snow from the streets is apparent or imminent or when necessary as determined by the County. [...] A violation of this section is a class C misdemeanor.

Full Breakdown

from November 1 through March 1 each year. 010 to include motor vehicles, trailers, off-highway vehicles, manufactured or mobile homes and farm equipment, and 'public street' means the full width between property lines of any road open to vehicular traffic. Two groups fall outside the ban: physicians, EMS providers, law enforcement officers and fire department personnel responding to emergencies; and residents, guests or invitees who have applied to and been issued an overnight-parking permit and sticker from the Davis County Sheriff's Office for genuine emergency or unusual circumstances, displayed where it is readily visible from outside the vehicle.

Separately, the same section pulls cars off unincorporated streets whenever snow removal is apparent or imminent, a trigger that operates even outside the November-March window. The Sheriff's Office decides permit applications for good cause shown; the ordinance sets no fee or expiration in the text itself. 040 runs through any law enforcement officer and the zoning officers of the Davis County Department of Community and Economic Development, either of whom may issue a citation.

Violations & Fines

Section 10.04.020 makes a violation a class C misdemeanor, capped under Section 1.08.010 at a $750 fine, 90 days in jail, or both. Sheriff's deputies and county zoning officers under Section 10.04.040 can both cite a vehicle left on an unincorporated street overnight without a valid permit sticker displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park overnight on my unincorporated Davis County street in summer?
The seasonal ban only runs November 1 through March 1. Outside that window Section 10.04.020's overnight restriction does not apply, though the separate parking restrictions in Section 10.04.030, covering fire lanes, sidewalks and inoperable vehicles, still apply year round.
How do I get a permit to park overnight in winter?
Residents, guests or invitees facing an emergency or unusual circumstance may apply to the Davis County Sheriff's Office. For good cause shown, the Sheriff's Office issues a permit and a sticker that must be displayed where it is readily visible from outside the vehicle.
Does the ban still apply if there is no snow?
Yes. The November 1 to March 1 midnight-to-6-a.m. ban applies regardless of forecast, and the code adds a separate trigger: county officials can also order vehicles off the street whenever snow removal is apparent or imminent, even outside those dates.
