Summary
Burbank has no citywide ban on overnight passenger-vehicle parking, but the 72-hour storage rule (BMC 6-1-1010) and permit-parking zones (BMC 6-1-1003) effectively limit overnight stays. Large Non-Commercial Vehicles (RVs, trailers) may not park overnight on the street without a displayed LNCV permit, and commercial vehicles are barred from commercial-zone streets between 3:00 and 5:00 AM.

Full Breakdown
Burbank does not impose a blanket overnight ban on ordinary cars, but several provisions control overnight parking. Under BMC Section 6-1-1010 no vehicle may sit on a street or alley more than 72 consecutive hours, so vehicles cannot be stored overnight indefinitely. Residential permit-parking zones established under BMC Section 6-1-1003 restrict non-permit parking, generally during weekday daytime hours. For larger vehicles, BMC Section 6-1-1010.1 forbids parking any RV, camper, boat trailer, or other Large Non-Commercial Vehicle on the public right-of-way overnight (or anytime) unless a valid 24-hour LNCV permit is displayed. Commercial vehicles face an explicit overnight window: BMC Section 6-1-1008(B) makes it unlawful for any commercial vehicle to park in a commercial zone between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM. Enforcement of all parking infractions runs through the California Vehicle Code Section 40200 parking-penalty process.
Violations & Fines
Overnight violations are infractions. RVs/trailers parked overnight without a permit, vehicles exceeding 72 hours, and commercial vehicles parked in commercial zones between 3 and 5 AM may be cited and towed. Fines follow the Burbank parking-bail schedule and are processed under California Vehicle Code Section 40200 et seq.
