Unincorporated McHenry County sets no blanket overnight ban, but cities do. In Crystal Lake, no vehicle may park on any street longer than 30 minutes between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
There is no countywide overnight on-street parking ban for unincorporated McHenry County, but every incorporated city sets its own rule. Crystal Lake's traffic code bars overnight street parking: aside from physicians on emergency calls, no vehicle may sit longer than 30 minutes on any city street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. of any day. Residents needing to park overnight can request a hardship permission from the Police Department. Woodstock, McHenry, Algonquin, and other municipalities have comparable overnight restrictions, so confirm the rule for your specific city before leaving a vehicle on the street.
Overnight parking tickets in Crystal Lake typically run $25–$50 per occurrence, and a chronically parked vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense.
