Denver enforces a citywide 72-hour street parking limit. Residential Parking Permit (RPP) zones restrict non-resident parking in many neighborhoods. Vehicles must park within 18 inches of the curb.
Under DRMC §54-465, no vehicle may remain parked in the same location for more than 72 hours. A Residential Parking Permit exempts holders from posted time restrictions on their block but does not exempt the vehicle from the 72-hour limit. Vehicles must be parked within 18 inches of the curb with at least 2 feet between vehicles. Many Denver neighborhoods have active RPP zones requiring permits for extended parking. Parking tickets range from $25 to $75 depending on the violation. Towing may add a $100 relocation fee.
Tickets $25–$75. Towing fee $100 for relocation. Repeat violations can lead to Denver boot or impound.
