Hartford overnight parking is generally allowed unless signs or residential permit rules say otherwise. During a declared snow emergency parking ban, all on-street parking is prohibited—see the City's Snow Parking Ban updates and the Hartford Parking Authority notices. Expect a $100 ticket and tow during bans, and a $45 citation for parking in a permit zone without authorization. Tip: relocate to garages or off-street lots before a storm and check block signage year round.
