Buena Park, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

050 is a single sentence: no person who owns or has possession, custody or control of any vehicle shall park such vehicle upon any street or alley for more than a consecutive period of seventy-two hours. It traces to Prior Code § 17-69 and is the closest thing Buena Park has to a general overnight or extended-parking rule for ordinary cars; the city does not impose a blanket overnight ban the way some cities do, instead measuring violations from the moment a vehicle stops moving through a continuous seventy-two-hour clock.

050(A) authorizes any regularly employed, salaried Buena Park police officer to remove a vehicle that has been parked or left standing upon a street or highway for seventy-two or more consecutive hours, the same threshold the storage ban sets. That removal authority also reaches vehicles parked where posted signs or a council resolution prohibit standing, and vehicles blocking a street needed for repair, construction or utility work, provided notice signs went up at least twenty-four hours beforehand. 04 scheme: a misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 and six months in jail, or, if charged as an infraction, escalating fines of $100, $200 and $500 for repeat violations of the same section within a twelve-month period, on top of any towing and storage costs the vehicle's owner must pay to reclaim it.
