Summary
Edmond repealed the city code section that once punished loitering and sleeping on the streets in 2017 and never replaced it, so there is currently no local sit-lie or sidewalk-sleeping ordinance in Edmond.
Editor's note— Ord. 3596, § 6, adopted April 10, 2017 repealed § 8.08.080 which pertained to loitering and sleeping on the streets and derived from the Code of 1954.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 39).
Full Breakdown
Former Section 8.08.080, 'Loitering and Sleeping on the Streets,' derived from the 1954 Code, was repealed by Ordinance 3596, Section 6, adopted April 10, 2017. The section now reads 'Reserved' in the current code. The same 2017 ordinance also repealed the neighboring vagrancy sections (former §§ 8.08.050, 8.08.060) and the begging section (former § 8.08.070). No replacement sit-lie, camping, or sidewalk-sleeping ordinance has been adopted since, so sitting or lying on an Edmond sidewalk is not itself a city offense under Title 8.
Violations & Fines
None currently apply: the ordinance that once punished sleeping or loitering on the streets was repealed in 2017, so there is no local sit-lie penalty on the books to violate.
