Buffalo homes, and what that means on the day.

Older homes on the hilly streets around Buffalo Lake and downtown, newer subdivisions on the edges, and acreage and lake homes out on the county roads.

The streets near downtown and the lake are hilly and some are narrow, which matters for a big truck. For a downtown Buffalo move we plan the truck spot in advance, and for a lake home we check the approach during your estimate.

Parking, permits and buildings

Getting the truck to the door in Buffalo.

Between November 1 and April 1, after any snowfall, Buffalo city code makes it unlawful to park on any street from 2:00 a.m. until the street has been plowed curb to curb, and during a declared snow emergency, parking is banned on all city streets until the emergency is rescinded. The Buffalo Police Department takes requests for temporary parking exceptions and lends temporary "No Parking" signs to residents for events such as garage sales and graduation open houses. Temporary refuse containers such as Bagster bags may not be placed in the city right of way and must sit on a driveway or behind the front setback line. Downtown Buffalo, the city's Central Business District, has rental units whose tenants may lack off-street parking, and the city lets those residents apply for a permit to park in a designated downtown lot.

Based on the city's own rules as of September 2026. City rules change, so check with the city before move day.

Questions

Moving in Buffalo: common questions.

Can I hold street space for the moving truck in Buffalo?
The Buffalo Police Department takes requests for temporary parking exceptions and lends temporary "No Parking" signs to residents for events like garage sales and open houses. Call them ahead of your move to ask what applies.
What are the winter parking rules for a Buffalo move?
From November 1 to April 1, after any snowfall, no one may park on city streets from 2:00 a.m. until the street is plowed curb to curb, and a declared snow emergency bans parking on all city streets until it is lifted. When snowfall reaches 2 inches or more, citywide plowing typically begins between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m.
Can a dumpster for a cleanout go on the street before my Buffalo move?
Buffalo does not allow temporary refuse containers in the city right of way. They must go on a driveway or behind the front setback line. A full container must be removed within seven days.
