Avondale, AZ Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Chapter 23 (Traffic) of the Avondale City Code prohibits the overnight parking of any vehicle for the purpose of temporary or permanent habitation. In practice this means a person cannot park an RV, camper or other vehicle on a street and live or sleep in it overnight. Avondale has not published a general citywide curfew banning all overnight on-street parking of ordinary passenger vehicles, so where no sign is posted and the vehicle is not being used as a dwelling, ordinary overnight parking is not automatically prohibited. Standard state prohibitions under ARS Section 28-873 still apply at all hours, including the bans on parking near fire hydrants, in intersections, on crosswalks and where signs restrict parking. Living in or sleeping in a vehicle parked on the street is the conduct the Avondale overnight-habitation provision targets, and it is enforced by the Avondale Police Department, which also handles other on-street parking complaints (623-333-7000). Residents storing a recreational vehicle overnight on their own property must still comply with the front-yard storage restriction in Zoning Ordinance Section 28-162(e).
