Richmond Hill overnight parking is restricted: no on-street parking 01:00–07:00 from Dec 1–Mar 31 and 03:00–06:00 Apr 1–Nov 30. A 24-hour temporary permit can excuse these time limits (except during snow operations) — apply via the City’s Parking Permits. When a Winter Event is declared, on-street parking is prohibited regardless of permits and vehicles may be ticketed or towed; check snow removal updates. Tip: permits become null during winter operations—move off-street ahead of plowing to avoid towing.
