Loveland, CO Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Loveland's overnight parking framework operates in two distinct zones. Citywide on residential streets, properly registered, operable passenger vehicles may generally park overnight, subject to Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Loveland Municipal Code, the residential-zone restrictions on trucks over one-ton load capacity, vehicles over 6,000 lbs empty weight, RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles, and the state-law distance restrictions in C.R.S. 42-4-1204 (15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, sidewalks, intersections, in front of driveways). Sleeping or dwelling-type vehicles - camper coaches, camper trailers, motor homes, per the 2003 Model Traffic Code adopted by Loveland - face a defined right-of-way time cap that the 2018 LPD-recommended ordinance revision raised from twenty-four hours to seventy-two hours, while also introducing a factors-based 'deserted, discarded, or inoperable' standard for towing. Downtown Loveland is the strict zone: under the city's published downtown parking program, on-street parking is prohibited every day from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. so snow plows and street sweepers can clear the streets, and the prohibition alternates by day of week (no parking on the south and west sides on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday; no parking on the north and east sides on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday). From 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. downtown on-street parking has no time limit. Private downtown lots (whether free or fee-based) are governed by posted signage and the property owner's enforcement. Enforcement is by the Loveland Police Department non-emergency line 970-667-2151.
