Lakeville, MN Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Beyond the time-based limits in the rest of the chapter, Lakeville's on-street parking rules add specific placement requirements. City Code section 6-1-1-3(D) prohibits leaving a motor vehicle, trailer, boat, snowmobile or seasonal vehicle so that it blocks access to a driveway or blocks access to a mailbox anywhere in the city. Section 6-1-1-4 governs designated angle parking areas: wherever the city has marked out angle parking, a driver may park only with the front of the vehicle facing the adjacent curb, ruling out backing into an angled space or parking crosswise to the marked angle.

Both rules sit alongside section 6-1-1-2, which lets the chief of police mark individual parking spaces with painted or durable lines and requires every vehicle to stay entirely inside the marked space, and section 6-1-1-1, which lets the city council designate parking zones and time restrictions by resolution and lets the chief of police impose temporary emergency no-parking orders anywhere in the city. A vehicle parked in violation of section 6-1-1-3 or the space and angle rules in sections 6-1-1-2 and 6-1-1-4 can be ordered towed under section 6-1-4 by the chief of police, with towing and storage costs charged to the owner and a possessory lien attaching to the vehicle if those costs are not paid promptly.
