Summary
Schaumburg bans parking any motor vehicle, trailer, camper, boat or recreational vehicle on a dedicated street between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Village Code § 72.02 lets the chief of police exempt specific streets or grant individual permission for special exceptions, but the overnight ban otherwise applies village-wide, every night of the year.
It shall be unlawful for any person to park or permit to be parked a motor vehicle, trailer/camper, boat or any other recreational vehicle or trailer between the hours of 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on any dedicated street within the corporate limits of the village. The above shall not apply to the following exceptions: The street or portion of street has been exempted from the provisions of this section, and notice having been posted of the exemption; or permission has been granted pursuant to rules and regulations for special exceptions, as determined by the chief of police or their designee.

Full Breakdown
m. The ban runs every night, not just during snow season or special events, and covers the full range of vehicle types the village otherwise regulates for daytime street parking. Two narrow paths around the ban exist: a specific street or portion of a street can be exempted from the section if the village posts notice of the exemption, and the chief of police or a designee can grant permission for a special exception under separate rules and regulations the department maintains. The ordinance dates to Ordinance 112, passed September 6, 1960, and has been amended five times since, most recently by Ordinance 22-035 in April 2022, showing the overnight restriction has stayed on the books essentially unchanged in substance for more than six decades even as the village updated enforcement language.
06's ban on parking in industrial (M-1, M-P) and business (B-1 through B-5) zoned streets, giving Schaumburg three distinct, stacked restrictions on where and when a vehicle can sit on a public street overnight.
Violations & Fines
Leaving a vehicle, trailer, camper, boat or recreational vehicle on a dedicated Schaumburg street between 2:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. without an exempted-street posting or a police-granted special exception violates § 72.02 and exposes the owner to a parking citation. The restriction applies regardless of whether the vehicle is registered, roadworthy or otherwise lawfully parked during daytime hours, since the ban is purely time-based rather than tied to any other condition of the vehicle or street.
