Maple Grove, MN Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Unlike cities that only restrict overnight parking seasonally, Maple Grove enforces a year-round overnight ban. No vehicle may be parked on any public street or highway in the city between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., inclusive, on any day. At city park-and-ride and transit facilities, parking is prohibited between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on any day of the year. Because there is no general overnight allowance, residents who need to leave a vehicle on the street at night must obtain a temporary parking exemption permit from the police department. The ordinance lists permitted reasons, including construction areas lacking off-street parking, driveways under repair, excess residential vehicles, medical emergency care providers, out-of-town guests, self-propelled recreational vehicles, inoperable vehicles awaiting removal, and family-crisis situations. Permits are generally limited to a maximum of two weeks per calendar year (inoperable-vehicle permits are limited to 48 hours), must be displayed inside the vehicle, and are valid only within one block of the specified address. During snow events the rules tighten further: vehicles are also prohibited from streets after two or more inches of snow has fallen until plowing is complete. Violators may be ticketed or towed at the owner's expense.
