About the Ban

With a focus on public health, safety, mitigating unreasonable risk of fire, and preservation of public and private property, Loveland City Council passed an emergency unauthorized encampment ban on May 17, 2022 that allows the City to move anyone camping illegally overnight on public property.

  • Read the full Ordinance: No. 6554 B - The ordinance amends the City of Loveland’s Municipal Code to add Chapter 9.47 concerning unauthorized encampments and the addition of a New Chapter 7.29 concerning the civil abatement of unauthorized encampments necessary for the immediate preservation of public property, private property, health, safety, and welfare to mitigate the unreasonable risk of fire and the deterioration of City property caused by the propagation of unauthorized encampments.

Read the September 16 update "Loveland Encampment Ordinance & Shelter Updates – What You Need to Know" for more details about how the encampment ban will work after October 1, 2025.
