West Valley City, UT Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

' The ban is not tied to a posted snow-emergency route or a declared weather emergency; it triggers automatically once an inch of snow or ice sits on the street, city-wide. The same Chapter's enforcement and penalty structure applies. A parking coordinator, appointed by the City Manager under Section 22-2-202, can uphold or dismiss a Notice of Parking Violation, and Section 22-2-203 sets the civil penalty at $125 for a first offense within 12 months, rising to $175, $225, and $275 for a second, third, and fourth or later offense in that same window.

Paying within 10 days of the Notice cuts the fine by $100, and paying within 30 days cuts it by $50, under Section 22-2-201. A vehicle left in the snow is also exposed to Section 22-2-119: if it accumulates two or more unpaid Notices, or two or more Notices within 12 months, it is declared a public nuisance and may be towed or immobilized at the owner's expense, with release conditioned on paying all outstanding fees and costs. Owners have 30 calendar days to appeal a Notice, or 10 days to appeal an immobilization, in writing to the parking coordinator.

Recognized defenses under Section 22-2-202 include that posted markings or signs were not clearly visible and that the vehicle was mechanically incapable of being moved, though that second defense stops applying after six hours.
