The City of Hillsboro's ordinance regarding on-street parking during the snow season allows overnight parking on City streets at all times of the year EXCEPT in the instance of a “winter snow event” – which is defined as any instance in which there is snowfall of 2 inches or more. When the snowfall threshold is met, the Hillsboro Public Works Department or Police Department will issue a city-wide notification via the Nixle emergency alert. To sign-up for Nixle alerts, residents can simply send a text message with their zip code to phone number 888777 or view attached flyer to sign up online.
