Chesapeake does not have a citywide overnight parking ban, but specific neighborhoods, commercial lots, and city parks prohibit overnight parking by posted signs. City parks close at dusk, with 500 dollar fines for overnight occupancy.
Chesapeake has no blanket overnight street parking ban, relying instead on the 72-hour rule and posted neighborhood restrictions. However, all Chesapeake city parks (including Chesapeake City Park, Northwest River Park, and Oak Grove Lake Park) prohibit overnight parking per Section 54-50. Commercial retail lots often post their own no-overnight rules enforced via private tow. Sleeping in vehicles on public streets is not specifically banned but may trigger loitering or trespass charges depending on location.
Park overnight violation: 500 dollars max per Sec. 54-50. Street parking beyond 72 hours: tow + 30 dollar ticket. Private lot violations: tow at owner expense.
