Full Breakdown
There is no citywide overnight ban on standard passenger vehicles parked legally at the curb. However, City Code section 10.12.107 ('All Night Parking - Residential Areas') prohibits parking any truck on a street in a residential zone use district for more than 30 minutes between 8:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. City Code section 10.13.104 ('All Night Parking') prohibits parking longer than 30 minutes between 2:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. on any street signed to prohibit all-night parking, except for physicians or persons on emergency calls. Overnight RV parking on any street is barred under Ordinance 18-131 (City Code 10.25.101/10.25.102), which the Police Department enacted specifically to curb a rise in overnight RV parking citywide. The City also operates permit-based Residential Parking Programs that let permit holders park in designated 'No Parking' or time-restricted zones. Any vehicle left in one place beyond 72 hours is subject to citation and impoundment under City Code 10.25.101/10.25.102.
Violations & Fines
Night-parking violations under 10.12.107 are payable at $50 ($55 late); all-night-zone violations under 10.13.104 and illegal-parking under 10.25.102 are similarly payable parking citations, with impoundment available for 72-hour and RV violations.
