Alhambra, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 11.36.010 prohibits stopping, standing or parking a vehicle on any street between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., except as the chapter otherwise allows; emergency vehicles are exempt (§ 11.36.014). Residents may obtain an annual all-night parking permit, or buy a current virtual permit, through the Finance Department's webpage, with a separate permit required for each vehicle (§ 11.36.016(A)(1), § 11.36.020). No annual permit issues for a commercial vehicle over 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, a non-motorized vehicle, a trailer, or a vehicle exceeding six feet in width, 20 feet in length or eight feet in height, though a business may permit vehicles it already parks near its premises during the day (§ 11.36.016(A)(2)).

Atlantic Boulevard, Fremont Avenue, Garfield Avenue, Main Street, Mission Road and Valley Boulevard are excepted from the permit system entirely (§ 11.36.016(B)). A resident without off-street parking hosting an overnight guest, or facing another temporary circumstance, may buy a temporary all-night permit from the Police Department, and a resident may obtain a temporary 72-hour permit up to twice a month for a mobile home, camper, house trailer or recreational vehicle, which must park only where the street is at least 32 feet curb-to-curb (§ 11.36.050).

Application and annual fees are set by City Council resolution and are nonrefundable (§ 11.36.030(A)-(B)). A denied application may be appealed in writing to the City Council within 14 days of the emailed denial notice (§ 11.36.040(B)). Permits run 365 days from the date paid for and are not refundable upon surrender (§ 11.36.080(A)-(B)).
