Charleston, WV Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

City Code Sec. 70-63 flatly bars leaving a trailer on any city street overnight. "Trailer" is defined in Sec. 114-1 as any vehicle without its own motive power that's designed to be towed by another vehicle: campers, utility trailers, boat trailers and similar towed units. The rule doesn't set a general curfew on parking ordinary cars; it targets towed equipment left sitting on the street after dark. Separately, Charleston runs a residential permit-parking program (Sec. 114-578) that lets neighborhoods petition for night-time (6:00 p.m.–8:00 a.m.) restrictions on regular vehicles, but that only applies where a permit area has actually been established.
