Full Breakdown

Colorado Springs City Code section 10.25.102 ('Illegal Parking') treats a vehicle left in the same place, or within one hundred feet of that place, on a street, highway, or alley for more than 72 continuous hours as illegal parking; on a street fronting a business area the limit drops to 24 hours. The same trigger appears in section 10.25.101 ('Authority to Impound Vehicles'), so a vehicle past the 72-hour mark may be both ticketed and towed. Separately, City Code section 10.13.104 ('All Night Parking') bars anyone except physicians or persons on emergency calls from parking longer than 30 minutes between 2:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. on any street signed to prohibit all-night parking. The City's published Schedule of Fines lists 10.25.102 illegal-parking violations and 10.12.107 night-parking violations at $50 (payable) / $55. Parking enforcement is handled by the Parking System Enterprise's enforcement officers, with citations adjudicated by the Municipal Court Violations Department.

Violations & Fines

Illegal parking under 10.25.102 and night-parking under 10.12.107 are payable parking citations of $50 ($55 if not paid timely) per the City Schedule of Fines; vehicles over the 72-hour limit may also be impounded under 10.25.101.
