Minnesota sets no statewide overnight rule, but Wright County cities restrict overnight winter parking. Buffalo, Monticello, and St. Michael prohibit parking during snow emergencies and often overnight through the winter, with towing.
Minnesota sets no statewide overnight parking rule, but Wright County's cities enforce their own winter restrictions. Buffalo, Monticello, St. Michael, and neighboring cities prohibit parking on public streets during declared snow emergencies and commonly impose seasonal overnight bans — typically 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. through the snow season — to keep routes clear for plows. Outside winter, some streets still post overnight or extended-parking limits. Residents expecting an overnight guest can usually request a short-term exception by calling the city or police non-emergency line. Vehicles left in violation are tagged and towed at the owner's expense.
An overnight or snow-emergency 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.
