Chesterfield County has no blanket ban on overnight residential street parking for passenger cars. Heavy trucks and trailers are barred from residential roads at all times, and any vehicle left unmoved for four days may be treated as abandoned and towed.
Unlike some cities, Chesterfield does not impose a general overnight parking prohibition on ordinary passenger vehicles using public streets, unless a street is specifically posted. However, County Code sec. 13-42 keeps trucks with dual tires over 6,000 pounds and all trailers and semitrailers off residential roads day or night, and sec. 13-64 lets the county remove any vehicle left in one location for four days without being moved. Many neighborhoods are governed by homeowner associations with their own overnight and guest-parking rules, which are enforced privately rather than by the county.
There is no county overnight-parking fine for cars, but abandoned vehicles are towed after four days and HOA violations are handled by the association.
