Des Plaines City Code Title 7 prohibits parking on any public street between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM without a valid overnight parking permit. Permits are issued by the Police Department for residents without adequate off-street parking and for short-term guest use.
Des Plaines maintains a citywide overnight parking ban from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM, seven days a week. Residents who lack sufficient driveway or garage space may apply for an annual residential overnight permit through the Des Plaines Police Department, and short-term temporary permits are available online for visitors and guests. Permits do not authorize parking in posted no-parking zones, snow routes during snow events, or street-sweeping zones on cleaning days. After a snowfall of 2 inches or more, all on-street parking is banned on designated snow routes regardless of permit status. Contact Des Plaines Police at (847) 391-5400.
Overnight parking tickets without a permit are typically $35 to $50. Snow route violations during a declared snow event carry $75 fines plus immediate towing at owner expense. Repeated violations may escalate.
