Summary

From November 1 through April 1 each year, Flagstaff bars parking any vehicle on a City street between midnight and 7:00 a.m., regardless of whether it has snowed that night. City Code § 9-01-001-0003(E)(7) makes the seasonal restriction citywide except for a short list of mapped exempt streets, and Parkflag enforcement carries a base fine plus a late fee if it is not paid within 15 days.

Full Breakdown

Flagstaff City Code § 9-01-001-0003(E)(7) sets a Seasonal Parking Restriction: no person may park, or allow to be parked, any vehicle they own or control on any City street between midnight and 7:00 a.m. from November 1st through April 1st. The rule runs on the calendar, not on snowfall, so a car left on a public street overnight during that window is a violation even on a dry night. A short list of mapped exceptions carves out specific streets, including the north side of the westerly 1,000 feet of Coconino Avenue, parts of Pine Cliff Drive and Locust Street near Ponderosa Parkway, all public streets in the Aspen Place at the Sawmill development, and streets zoned Traditional Neighborhood District; several downtown streets, such as Leroux Street, Aspen Avenue, and stretches of Route 66, instead run a shorter 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. window.

The Chief of Police and the Office of the Parking Manager (Parkflag) enforce the restriction, documenting the date, time, location, and license plate of any violation. Under the table of fines at § 9-01-001-0003(H)(3), a seasonal-restriction violation, listed as 'Parked during Seasonal Restriction' under code section 9-01-001-0003(E)(7), carries a total fine of $48.00 if paid on time and $98.00 if paid late, the late total folding in a $20 City administrative fee. A cited owner has fifteen calendar days to pay or request a hearing before the Flagstaff Municipal Court; missing that window results in a default judgment for the sanction plus late penalties.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a City street between midnight and 7:00 a.m. anytime from November 1 to April 1 draws a $48.00 fine paid on time or $98.00 if paid late, under the table of fines in § 9-01-001-0003(H)(3). The vehicle's registered owner is liable for the citation, and a failure to pay or request a hearing within fifteen days results in a default judgment against the owner.
