Winter Parking Ban

From November 1st to April 30th each year, a winter parking ban (overnight parking) is in effect for the City of Negaunee between the hours of 1:00 am and 6:00 am.

During the ban hours you may NOT park your vehicle:

On any City street, or
In any City alley, or
In any City-maintained parking lot, or
In any City-owned/leased parking lot, or
On any City-maintained sidewalk

**Note** Vehicles may not be parked on any City-maintained sidewalk in lieu of on the street at any time as this is also a violation of city ordinance.

Overnight Parking Violation Fees:

If you receive a parking violation notice for Overnight Parking, the fine is $30.00. After 72 hours (3 days) from the date/time of issue, a late fee of $15.00 is added to the original fine for a total fine of $45.00. A letter will be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle after ten (10) days as a reminder if payment has not been received.

If after thirty (30) days the fine of $45.00 is not paid, the registered owner of the vehicle will be issued a standard traffic citation for the violation (Overnight Parking – 686.05) and the matter will be turned over to the 96th District Court for further action, which could include additional fines and/or suspension of driving privileges.  Failure to respond to the court will result in a Bench Warrant being issued for your arrest.

If a court hearing is desired, the registered owner of the vehicle must come to the Negaunee Police Department with identification to make this request.  The reason for this is the vehicle owner is ultimately responsible for the parking violation and should be kept informed of all matters involving them.  If you reside outside of Marquette County or have a legitimate/acceptable reason for being unable to appear in person, please contact the department at (906)475-4154 as exceptions may be made.

**Note** Partial payments cannot be accepted. Payments received which are less than the fine (plus applicable late fees) assessed will be returned. Payment in full is still required within thirty (30) days from the issue date of the parking violation notice.

If you have questions about a parking violation notice you've already received please call 475-4154.

If you have questions about the winter parking ban please call 475-4154 or email your question to the Chief of Police.
