Unincorporated El Paso County does not broadly restrict overnight street parking, but C.R.S. §42-4-1204 and the 72-hour rule apply. Colorado Springs prohibits parking on city streets longer than 72 hours. HOAs within the county may impose stricter overnight rules.
Unincorporated El Paso County follows Colorado state law regarding street parking. C.R.S. §42-4-1204 generally permits overnight parking on public roads unless posted otherwise. The 72-hour rule applies: any vehicle parked in the same location for more than 72 consecutive hours may be tagged by the Sheriff's Office and towed as abandoned under C.R.S. §42-4-1803. Snow emergency declarations may trigger temporary no-parking restrictions on emergency routes. Colorado Springs Code §10.4.203 mirrors the 72-hour rule and adds specific overnight restrictions in downtown and some residential permit zones. Manitou Springs enforces winter parking restrictions on designated streets during snow events. RV and trailer overnight parking on public streets is generally limited to 24-72 hours depending on jurisdiction. Private HOA streets (common in Black Forest, Flying Horse, Cordera) set their own rules typically prohibiting overnight guest parking without registration.
72-hour violation: Sheriff's tag and tow at owner expense (approximately $200 hook plus $30-$45/day storage at county contract tow yards). Colorado Springs overnight violation: $25-$75 citation. Abandoned vehicle towing: C.R.S. §42-4-1803 procedures apply.
