Parking Regulations Address Street Storage, Lawn Parking and Vehicle Caps

Sheridan residents are being reminded of several parking regulations aimed at maintaining public safety, protecting property and reducing neighborhood nuisances. The rules apply to vehicles parked on public streets, alleys and residential properties throughout the city and are enforced under existing municipal code.

One of the primary regulations limits street parking to no more than 48 continuous hours, except for fully operative vehicles owned by residents of the abutting property. Trailers not attached to an operative vehicle are also limited to 48 hours, even if parked adjacent to the owner’s property.

During an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Sheridan City Council Member Andrew Patceg said many of the parking rules address vehicles left on public streets and alleys for extended periods.

Parking or driving on lawns, parks, playgrounds, boulevards and other non-roadway areas is prohibited without permission, as boulevards and rights-of-way are city property and are not intended for vehicle parking.

In addition, unlicensed, abandoned or junk vehicles are considered a public nuisance on both public and private property and may be abated or impounded based on timelines established in Wyoming law. The city also limits the number of vehicles at single-family residences, with no more than seven motor vehicles allowed to be parked or stored on a property for more than 72 hours, unless specific exceptions apply, such as screened vehicles, certain recreational trailers or qualifying hobby or repair vehicles.

Residents with questions about compliance are encouraged to contact the City of Sheridan for additional information.
