Oakville overnight parking is limited to 02:00–06:00: seasonally Nov 15–Apr 15 south of Dundas and year-round north of Dundas. Overnight stays require the appropriate permit—see the town’s on-street parking rules. Common penalties range from $30–$400, and towing can occur if a vehicle blocks snow clearing. Tip: during storms, move off-street—seasonal 02:00–06:00 restrictions still apply and plow operations may trigger towing.
