The winter parking clause in the City of Owatonna parking ordinance goes into effect November 15 at midnight and will remain in effect until March 31, 2026.

If you need to park a vehicle on the street between 12:01 a.m. and noon, you should park on the even house numbered side of the street on even numbered calendar days and on the odd numbered house side of the street on odd numbered calendar days. If you park your car after noon and intend to leave it parked overnight, you should anticipate the midnight date change. It is the responsibility of hosts to notify visitors or guests of the odd/even side winter parking restriction.

Odd/Even parking enforcement is not contingent on an impending snow event. It is the objective of the city to educate community members and seek voluntary compliance, followed by consistent enforcement for a significantly more effective and efficient street maintenance operation.

Use the Owatonna Winter Parking Map App to see where to park where parking is allowed and areas that are exempt from the winter parking restriction. Easily search for an address to determine the odd and even sides.

• Green lines: Even side of the street
• Red lines: Odd side of the street
• Black lines: Streets that are exempt from the winter parking ordinance due to restrictions
• Yellow lines: Will appear during 12:01 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. (noon) to indicate the side of the street you should park on if the area is not restricted
