Parking on Private Property

Parking in yards and on sidewalks generates many calls to Fargo City Hall. Here are some rules to keep in mind:

  • You may not park on grass or dirt.
  • The only acceptable parking spots in the front yard are on a private driveway or driveway approach.
  • Your vehicle may not block the sidewalk or extend into the street.
  • You may park in the side yard if your vehicle is on an all-weather surface (concrete paving stones, asphalt, etc.).

You may receive a parking ticket if you are in violation of these ordinances. To report a parking problem on private property, e-mail or call the Inspections Department at inspections@cityoffargo.com or 701-241-1561.

If you received a parking ticket from an inspector, you may appeal the ticket using our form and bring or mail it to the Inspections Department with a copy of the ticket.
