Chino, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Unlike many neighboring Inland Empire cities (e.g., Ontario, which requires overnight parking permits in some areas), the City of Chino does not have a general citywide overnight parking ban codified in Title 10. Residents and guests can legally park overnight on most public residential streets provided they comply with the four overlay restrictions: (1) The 72-consecutive-hour limit under California Vehicle Code §22651(k) means a vehicle cannot remain in the same on-street spot continuously day-and-night for three days — it must be moved a meaningful distance. (2) Street-sweeping mornings require the swept side of the street to be cleared (odd/even rotation per City of Chino schedule). (3) Commercial vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers cannot park overnight under CMC Chapter 10.30 (amended by Ordinance 2021-005) — the 3-hour active-loading exception expires at 6 hours and the vehicle is deemed abandoned. (4) Some downtown blocks, school zones, and posted-permit residential areas restrict overnight parking via posted signage. RVs, boats, and trailers parked on residential driveways are capped at 72 hours under CMC §20.10.100; on-street overnight RV parking is governed by the same 72-hour CVC §22651(k) authority.
