Omaha allows overnight street parking in most residential areas, but enforces snow emergency restrictions, permit zones, and a 24-hour continuous parking limit citywide.
Omaha generally permits overnight parking on public streets in residential neighborhoods. However, vehicles cannot remain in the same spot continuously for more than 24 hours under Chapter 36, which targets abandoned and stored vehicles. During declared snow emergencies, parking is banned on designated snow routes and odd-even streets to allow plowing; vehicles can be ticketed and towed. Some neighborhoods including parts of Midtown and near UNMC have residential permit parking zones where unpermitted vehicles cannot park overnight. Downtown and Old Market have meters and time limits that do not apply overnight but do apply starting morning hours. RVs, trailers, and commercial vehicles are subject to stricter on-street parking rules and generally cannot be parked overnight on residential streets. Violations generate tickets starting around 30 dollars, with tow-away enforcement during snow emergencies. Winter street storage is a common violation category given long Nebraska winters.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Omaha code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
