There is no county-wide ban on overnight residential parking in unincorporated Greenville County. A vehicle left on a public right-of-way over 48 hours, however, may be seized and removed as abandoned.
Greenville County does not impose a general overnight on-street parking prohibition for the unincorporated area. The practical limit comes from the county's abandoned-vehicle rule: a motor vehicle left on any public right-of-way, road, or highway for over 48 hours is defined as an abandoned motor vehicle and may be seized and removed by law enforcement (Sec. 9-142, 9-144). Overnight parking in commercial lots or on private property is controlled by the property owner. Incorporated cities within the county may enforce their own overnight or nighttime parking restrictions, so check the city code if you live inside municipal limits.
A vehicle over 48 hours on the right-of-way is removed for safekeeping by the Sheriff; the owner pays towing, preservation, and storage charges to reclaim it.
