Hamburg Village, NY Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

Two parts of the Village of Hamburg Code govern snow and vehicles on the street. The first is Chapter 229, Article IV. Section 229-31 lists the situations in which a vehicle may be removed or caused to be removed by the Village, and subsection (E) covers a vehicle parked or allowed to stand on any public street or public parking lot during a snow storm, flood, fire or other public emergency. The code names no snow emergency route list or alternate-side schedule in that clause; the trigger is the storm itself.

Once a vehicle is removed, § 229-32 lets the Village store it at a location it deems suitable. Removal and storage are at the expense of the most recent owner, who can redeem the vehicle by paying the actual and necessary expenses to the agency that removed and stored it. The charges for removal, inside storage and outside storage are printed as to be determined by the removing agency. Notice goes to the last owner, if known, in the form provided by Section 1224 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and § 229-34 makes the last owner liable to the Village or the removing agency.

The second part is the plowing permit in Chapter 203, Article IV. No person, firm or corporation can plow snow, or cause or allow it to be plowed, with any vehicle in the Village unless a permit issued by the Village Clerk is in force and prominently displayed on the vehicle. The definition in § 203-30 excludes a vehicle used solely to plow within the confines of its owner's own property. The owner applies in writing with name, address, vehicle identification number and New York license number. The fee is set by resolution of the Village Board, and permits run from June 1 to May 31 and cannot be transferred to another owner or vehicle (§ 203-32).

Separately, Schedule XVII (§ 229-52) bars parking on all streets from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. from November 1 to April 1.
