Reno enforces a 72-hour limit on street parking under RMC Chapter 6.06. Downtown has metered zones and time limits, and snow-emergency parking bans apply during winter storms.
Reno Municipal Code Chapter 6.06 governs parking on city streets. It is unlawful to park the same vehicle in one location on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours. Reno Police and parking enforcement mark tires or issue warnings before citation and tow. Downtown Reno uses metered parking and time zones (15-minute, 2-hour, 4-hour) enforced Monday through Saturday. Residential permit parking zones exist near the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) campus to protect neighborhood parking from student overflow. During declared snow events, the city may post emergency no-parking signs on arterials to allow plowing; violators are subject to tow at owner expense. Street sweeping schedules post temporary restrictions in some areas. Nevada NRS 484B governs statewide traffic and parking rules, including prohibitions on blocking fire hydrants (15 ft), crosswalks, and driveways.
72-hour violation: warning, citation ($30-$60 typical), and tow at owner expense. Meter expired: $30+. Snow emergency parking: immediate tow.
