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

Section 930.030 is the parking regulation section of the Minnetonka City Code, adopted by the City Council and enforced by the Minnetonka Police Department. Paragraph 3 bars parking where permanent or temporary signs posted by the city, or by authorized personnel acting at the city's direction, state no parking. Paragraph 4 bars parking in an area designated and posted as a fire lane. Paragraph 13 requires that a motor vehicle parked in an area designated by posted signs for certain types of vehicles be one of the types specifically permitted.

Paragraph 9 prohibits parking or standing on an alley, whether attended or unattended, with one exception: less than one hour for access to abutting property for loading or unloading when parking on the property is not available. Paragraph 10 prohibits parking so as to block a fire escape or the entrance or exit from a building, on public or private property. Paragraph 11 prohibits parking or stopping in a manner that obstructs access to a fire hydrant and, in every case, on a street or parking lot within 10 feet of a hydrant.

Paragraph 8 bars parking on a street, including adjacent right-of-way, to display a vehicle for sale.
