Boston permits overnight on-street parking city-wide except during declared snow emergencies. Resident parking permits required 24/7 in many neighborhoods. Chelsea enforces overnight resident parking 10 PM-7 AM in permit zones. Revere bans overnight street parking 1 AM-5 AM Nov 15-Apr 15. Winthrop prohibits all overnight parking (2 AM-6 AM) unless a permit is issued.
Overnight parking rules vary sharply among the four Suffolk County municipalities. Boston generally permits overnight parking on public streets 24/7, but Resident Parking Permits (administered by BTD) are required in designated neighborhoods at all hours (Back Bay, South End, Beacon Hill, Fenway, North End, Charlestown, East Boston, etc.). During snow emergencies declared by the Mayor, on-street parking is prohibited on snow emergency routes — violators are ticketed and towed per Boston Code §11-5.6. Street-cleaning schedules post March-December require movement during designated hours. Chelsea enforces overnight resident-only parking in permit zones from 10 PM to 7 AM under Chelsea Traffic Rules and Regulations, with Parking Clerk administering permits; non-permit vehicles are ticketed $25-$50. Revere Traffic Ordinance bans overnight parking on public streets from 1 AM to 5 AM during winter (November 15 through April 15) to facilitate snow removal — $25 ticket, towing possible. Revere also requires resident permits in neighborhoods near Revere Beach. Winthrop Town Bylaws §10-6 prohibit on-street parking from 2 AM to 6 AM year-round unless the vehicle displays a valid Winthrop overnight parking permit (issued by the Police Department to residents lacking off-street parking). Permit fee is nominal ($20 annually). Abandoned vehicles left more than 72 hours are subject to removal under MGL c. 90, §22C.
Boston snow emergency violation: $100+ ticket, $125 tow, daily storage. Non-permit parking in resident zone: $40 ticket, tow possible. Chelsea: $25-$50 per violation. Revere winter overnight: $25 ticket. Winthrop: $25-$50 plus tow.
