Parking Enforcement

The Police Department has a full-time Parking Enforcement Attendant who is primarily responsible for enforcing parking restrictions in the downtown area. Patrol Officers and Community Service Officers are responsible for parking enforcement throughout the entire city.

General Parking Restrictions

• In areas without specific time parking limitations, vehicles may not be parked on the street for more than 20 consecutive hours. Recreational camping vehicles are restricted to a six hour limit. The vehicle must be moved 300 feet or more or it will be considered stationary.
• Parking spots in the downtown area have various timed restrictions. Individuals are encouraged to rely on signage indicating parking restrictions. A vehicle parked in a limited time parking zone is deemed to have remained stationary if it is parked anywhere within the same block.
