One hour separates Inver Grove Heights from every neighbor, and it is the hour that catches people. The overnight ban starts at 3 a.m., not 2.
City Code 6-3-6, Limited Parking During Winter Months: it is unlawful to park a vehicle on any street between three o'clock a.m. and six o'clock a.m., from November 1 through April 1. There is no snow depth trigger attached — the ban runs on the calendar and the clock alone.
Every other city in this metro with an overnight ban starts at 2 a.m. Rosemount, Savage, Prior Lake, Fridley, Mendota Heights, Burnsville, Brooklyn Center, Ramsey — all 2 a.m. Inver Grove Heights gives you one more hour, and a neighbor's advice will cost you a ticket in the wrong direction.
Per an October 2023 ordinance change, snow removal on sidewalks adjacent to private property is now the property owner's responsibility. Code 7-1-2: no owner shall allow snow, ice, dirt or rubbish to remain on the sidewalk more than 24 hours after it has been deposited. The city may remove it after written notice, and the adjacent owner is personally liable for correcting the nuisance.
If you have lived here more than a couple of years, this is a rule that changed underneath you. The customer-facing number is 24 hours from the snowfall — the ordinance contains a second, separate 24-hour clock that runs from the city's notice, which is a different thing.
Plowing starts between 1 and 4 a.m. and takes 7 to 10 hours. Each plow route carries a support vehicle to clear intersections and cul-de-sacs, a staffing detail no other city here publishes. Mailboxes are repaired or replaced only if a plow makes direct contact.
Growth here is the most evenly spread in the metro — 12,148 people in 1970 to 35,801 in 2020, with no single boom decade. Housing spans the 1960s through the 2000s with no dominant era, which means a route crosses genuinely different driveway types in a few blocks.
Address, driveway size, sidewalk frontage and whether it is a corner. Four facts and the quote stops being a range. What moves the number in Inver Grove Heights.
