Snow Removal Ordinance (Parking)

Parking restrictions during and after snowfall are enforced to allow for more efficient and safer snow removal by City crews. Plan accordingly with weather forecasts to avoid citations.

Snow Ordinance parking fine: $25.00 ($5.00 penalty if not paid within 30 days of violation; court citation issued for non-payment after 30 days).

Fines payable at:
Hampton Police Department
17 2nd Street NW
Hampton, IA 50441

When off-street parking (garage, driveway or parking lot) is not available to owners or tenants, vehicles may be temporarily parked on the yard (NOT public right-of-way; area between back side of curb or roadway to property line, including sidewalk) until streets have been cleared by the City. Plows may require more than one pass along a roadway to clear snowfall.

City Code also requires property owners to clear snow and ice from PUBLIC SIDEWALKS on their property WITHIN 24 HOURS. This includes occupied homes, businesses, vacant properties and lots with public sidewalks. Those who are unable to clear the sidewalks themselves must make arrangements for such services to avoid penalties and the expense of City abatement and administrative fees.
