Summary

Police can have a vehicle towed at the owner's expense once it exceeds the limit, and the registered owner is presumed responsible for the fee set in the city's civil fines schedule.
A. More Than Forty Eight Hours: No person shall park a vehicle on any street for more than a consecutive forty eight (48) hour period.
Full Breakdown
City Code section 7-1-1.A sets Lehi's baseline on-street parking limit: 'No person shall park a vehicle on any street for more than a consecutive forty eight (48) hour period.' The limit applies citywide to any public street and runs continuously, so the rule measures a single 'consecutive' period rather than resetting each time the vehicle is moved a short distance.
The section, adopted by Ordinance 8-10-10.6 in 2010 and last amended by Ordinance 52-2025 on August 26, 2025, gives officers explicit towing authority: 'Whenever any police officer finds a vehicle upon a street in violation of the provisions of this section, the officer is authorized to have the vehicle removed at the expense of the registered owner of the vehicle.' The registered owner is 'prima facie responsible for such violation and liable for payment of the applicable fee' even if someone else was driving. The fee itself is not fixed in the code; the section sets it 'as adopted annually by the city council in the city civil fines schedule,' charged in addition to any towing and storage cost, and a separate infraction is deemed committed for each day the vehicle remains in violation.
Violations & Fines
Leaving a vehicle on a Lehi street past the 48-hour limit exposes the registered owner to a civil fine set annually in the city's fines schedule, plus towing and storage costs if police have the vehicle removed; each additional day is a separate infraction.
