Unincorporated Arapahoe County enforces a 72-hour maximum on street parking. No blanket overnight ban exists, but vehicles parked continuously for more than 72 hours are subject to tag-and-tow. Some subdivisions have private covenants restricting overnight parking.
Arapahoe County Code of Ordinances does not prohibit overnight street parking in unincorporated areas as a blanket rule. Parking on county roads is generally permitted 24/7 subject to the 72-hour continuous parking limit consistent with CRS 42-4-1204. Deputies or code officers tag suspected abandoned vehicles, and if the vehicle has not moved after 72 hours from tagging it may be towed at owner expense. Vehicles blocking driveways, mailboxes, fire hydrants (within 15 feet), or crosswalks (within 20 feet) are immediately ticketable. Snow emergencies declared by the Sheriff may impose temporary no-parking on designated routes. Private subdivisions (Heritage Hills, The Trails at Crowfoot Valley) may impose stricter overnight rules enforced by HOAs. Incorporated cities (Aurora, Centennial) maintain separate, stricter overnight rules.
72-hour violation: tag plus tow after grace period, vehicle recovery $150-$400. Blocking hydrant or crosswalk: $60-$100 ticket. Repeated violations: escalated fines plus possible impoundment.
