Generally, parking is prohibited on all streets from 2:30 to 6 a.m., seven days per week, year around, except when allowed by permit or pass.
Vehicles bearing permits are allowed to park on the street overnight in designated multifamily housing areas, except in front of churches, schools and parks and on blocks where housing is more than 50 percent single family.
In areas of Oak Park not zoned for multi-unit buildings or designated as permit areas, the overnight parking ban remains fully in effect.
Other parking restrictions are determined by location within the Village, length of parking time and even weather. For example, daytime restrictions include the following:
- No parking 8 – 10 a.m., Monday – Friday
- Two-hour parking 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday – Friday
- No Parking 8 – 10 a.m., Tuesday for Street Cleaning
- Resident Permit Parking Only

The Oak Park Police Department works with the Parking and Mobility Services Division to enforce all parking-related rules and regulations within the Village. Most parking enforcement activities are conducted by dedicated Parking Enforcement Officers who patrol the Village's streets, parking lots and garages. Parking fines are collected by the Adjudication Department, which is separate from the Police Department. The Adjudication Department also manages the administrative hearings process for parking ticket appeals and other municipal ordinance violations. Parking tickets may be appealed and paid online, via U.S. Mail or in person at Village Hall, 123 Madison St. Click here for more information on ticket appeals and the hearings process.
