Overnight street parking is heavily restricted in Scott County cities during winter. Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake ban parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., November 1 through March 31, with towing.
Minnesota sets no statewide overnight parking rule, but Scott County's cities enforce strict seasonal bans. Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake all prohibit parking on any public street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. from November 1 through March 31, so the winter overnight ban is effectively citywide, not route-based. Shakopee runs an odd/even exception in part of its downtown core. Outside winter, some streets still post overnight limits. Residents expecting an overnight guest can request a short-term parking variance — in Shakopee, by calling the police non-emergency line. Vehicles left in violation are tagged and towed at the owner's expense.
An overnight or snow-rule violation brings a parking ticket and, during snow removal, towing at the owner's expense — commonly $150 to $300 or more plus storage to recover the vehicle.
