Idaho Falls, ID Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Idaho Falls City Code does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban on residential streets. Instead, Sec. 9-4-26 makes it unlawful to park or allow a licensed and operable motor vehicle to remain in the same location on any street or alley for a period exceeding forty-eight (48) consecutive hours; moving the vehicle within three hundred feet (300') on the same side of the street does not reset that clock. Disabled, unlicensed, or inoperable vehicles face a stricter twenty-four (24) hour limit under Sec. 9-4-27. Overnight parking becomes more tightly restricted in winter: under the Snow Removal Parking Restrictions (Title 9, Chapter 5), the Winter Season runs from midnight November 14 through midnight March 15, and once a Snow Event is declared (more than two inches of snow on the roadway), parking is prohibited at various overnight and daytime hours depending on the zone. For example, Night-time Snow Removal Streets bar parking from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., and Downtown north-south/east-west streets bar parking from midnight to 8:00 a.m. on even/odd calendar days. The Idaho Falls Regional Airport also prohibits parking from 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on the portion of International Way east of Borah Avenue and west of North Skyline Way (Sec. 9-4-9(B)).
