Ada County sets no blanket overnight street-parking ban in unincorporated areas; the governing limit is the 7-day continuous cap (72 hours for RVs) under Code 6-5-3. Abandoning a vehicle is separately prohibited by Idaho Code 49-1801. Cities within the county may ban or restrict overnight parking.
There is no county ordinance barring simple overnight parking on unincorporated residential streets. Instead, Ada County Code 6-5-3 limits continuous parking to 7 days (72 hours for motor homes and trailers). Statewide, Idaho Code 49-1801 prohibits abandoning a vehicle on any highway or on public or private property without consent. Incorporated cities set their own overnight rules: for example, several Treasure Valley cities restrict long-term or overnight street parking and require moving vehicles periodically. Check your city's code if you are inside city limits.
Idaho Code 49-1801: abandoning a vehicle is prohibited; abandoned vehicles may be removed and impounded under Chapter 18. County street-time violations are enforced by the Sheriff.
