Bellflower, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Unlike some cities, Bellflower does not impose a citywide overnight prohibition on standard passenger vehicles. Instead, overnight restrictions target specific vehicle types and locations. Under BMC 10.12.070, recreational vehicles and recreational trailers may not be parked on a street between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit; under BMC 10.12.080, trailers face a parallel midnight-to-6 a.m. restriction and disconnected (unhitched) trailers are prohibited from street parking. The City Manager may issue a permit for overnight on-street parking of a moving trailer within 300 feet of the resident's property for up to 72 consecutive hours. Beyond these vehicle-specific rules, residents in permit-parking districts must display a valid permit overnight (BMC 10.10.050), and any block posted for street sweeping prohibits overnight or early-morning parking during the posted window. Front-yard overnight parking is also banned except in a driveway (BMC 10.12.050). For guests, the City issues free one-day guest permits limited to Federal holidays plus three additional non-holiday days per year, with a maximum of 15 per single day. Because rules vary block to block, residents should check posted signs and their permit-district status before leaving a vehicle overnight.
