Full Breakdown

Ogden City does not set one citywide overnight curfew hour; instead, section 10-5-3 makes it unlawful to park or leave a vehicle standing during the hours and days specified on signs or traffic markings erected by the city, and section 10-5-4 makes it unlawful to exceed a posted time limit between the hours shown on a sign. , and on state holidays. For trailers, boats, and other nonmotorized vehicles, section 10-5-18 supplies a fixed, sign-independent overnight limit: no one may park or store such a vehicle on a public street or alley for more than twenty four hours, and moving it to another spot within the same block does not reset the clock.

Section 10-5-18 separately bans parking, storing, or abandoning an unmounted camper or an 'automobile hulk' on any public street, alley, sidewalk, or right of way at any time. Related overnight restrictions include the winter snow removal ban in section 10-5-21, which prohibits parking when snow removal is imminent or when snow or ice has accumulated to one inch, and the twenty four hour restricted-recreational-vehicle limit for oversized RVs in residential areas under section 10-5-23. Ogden Police Department officers enforce these overnight and duration limits and can treat an overstaying vehicle as an abandoned or nuisance vehicle subject to impound under section 10-8-1.

Violations & Fines

Parking beyond a posted overnight or time-limit sign under sections 10-5-3 and 10-5-4, or leaving a trailer or boat on a street or alley more than twenty four hours under section 10-5-18, is a citable parking violation. A vehicle left in violation of these sections can be summarily impounded as a nuisance vehicle by the Ogden Police Department under section 10-8-1, with towing and storage costs billed to the owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a citywide overnight parking ban in Ogden?
Not a single fixed curfew. Section 10-5-3 bans parking during whatever hours and days are specified on posted signs or markings for a given street, and section 10-5-4 caps how long you can stay where a time limit is posted, so the actual overnight hours vary by location and signage.
How long can I leave my boat or trailer parked on an Ogden street?
No more than twenty four hours. Section 10-5-18 makes it unlawful to park or store a nonmotorized vehicle, utility trailer, house trailer, or boat on any public street or alley beyond that period, and moving it to another spot in the same block does not restart the clock.
Does Ogden's paid downtown parking apply overnight?
No. Section 10-5-4 states that in the managed parking areas described in section 10-10-4, time restrictions and payment requirements do not apply on Sundays, before 8:00 a.m., after 8:00 p.m. on any day, or on state legal holidays.
