Westerville permits overnight street parking in residential zones with no permit required, subject to the 48-hour maximum and snow emergency restrictions. Some uptown and multi-family areas have posted overnight restrictions or permit requirements.
Unlike many Ohio suburbs, Westerville does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban. Residents and visitors may park on residential streets overnight under CO 351.16, provided the vehicle is moved within 48 hours. Uptown district streets are exception-posted with no parking 2 AM to 6 AM near bars and restaurants. Multi-family housing complexes typically provide off-street parking; some apartment-adjacent streets have permit-only overnight parking. Snow emergencies automatically suspend overnight parking citywide.
Overnight violation in posted zone: 25 dollars. Snow emergency: 50 dollars plus tow. 48-hour overstay: 25 dollars and potential towing after 72 hours.
