Street parking rules in Monroe County are set by each municipality. Most towns impose seasonal overnight parking bans, especially from November through April, to allow snow plowing. No countywide overnight parking ordinance exists.
Monroe County does not have a countywide street parking ordinance. Individual towns, villages, and the City of Rochester each establish their own parking rules under New York Vehicle & Traffic Law. The City of Rochester and most surrounding towns impose seasonal overnight parking restrictions typically running from November 1 through April 1, often from midnight (or 10 PM) through 6 AM, to facilitate snow plowing. During snow emergencies, additional parking restrictions apply. Vehicles parked in violation may be ticketed and towed. Specific rules (hours, dates, exemptions) vary by municipality — check your local town code or visit your town's website.
Traffic infraction; fines up to $250 in some municipalities. Vehicles may be towed at owner's expense.
