Summary

Concord has no blanket overnight parking ban; restrictions apply street by street once the city posts signs under an official schedule kept by the city clerk. Section 58-303 lets the city bar parking at all times on listed streets, while Section 58-304 lets it bar parking during specific posted hours, except Sundays and public holidays, on other listed streets.

When signs are erected giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle at any time upon any of the streets described in schedule IV on file with the city clerk. ... When signs are erected in each block giving notice, no person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified in schedule V on file with the city clerk, on any day except Sundays and public holidays within the district or upon any of the streets described in schedule V on file with the city clerk.

Full Breakdown

Concord does not impose a single citywide overnight parking cutoff written into the text of the Code. Instead, Section 58-303 authorizes the city to prohibit parking at all times on any street listed in Schedule IV, a list the city clerk keeps on file rather than printing in the Code itself, and that prohibition takes effect only once signs are erected giving notice. Section 58-304 works the same way for time-of-day restrictions: once signs are posted in each affected block, parking is barred during the hours specified in Schedule V, on any day except Sundays and public holidays, on the streets that schedule names.

on streets listed in Schedule VI, again only where signs are posted. Section 58-301 makes clear these restrictions run at all times or at the specified times unless a driver is stopping to avoid a traffic conflict or following a police officer's or traffic-control device's direction, and Section 58-302 confirms a time-limit rule never excuses a driver from a stricter prohibition that also applies to the same spot. 00 delinquent-payment penalties.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a street listed in Schedule IV, or during hours restricted under Schedule V or VI, once the city has posted signs there, violates Sections 58-303 through 58-305. Section 58-306 applies the same civil penalty structure as Section 58-252's general parking violations, with an added $10.00 penalty at 15 days delinquent and $15.00 at 30 days, collected as a civil debt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a citywide overnight parking ban in Concord, NC?
No. Concord's Code does not set one overnight cutoff for the whole city. Sections 58-303 and 58-304 instead let the city post no-parking signs, at all times or during specific hours, on individual streets named in schedules the city clerk keeps on file, and the restriction only applies where those signs are actually up.
How do I find out if my street has posted parking hours?
Check for posted signage on the block itself: Sections 58-303 and 58-304 both require the city to erect signs before any listed street's restriction takes effect, and the underlying Schedule IV and Schedule V street lists are kept on file with the Concord city clerk rather than printed in the Code.
What happens if I ignore a posted no-parking sign in Concord?
Section 58-306 applies the same civil penalty and collection process used for ordinary parking violations under Section 58-252, including an extra $10.00 once the citation is 15 days delinquent and $15.00 once it reaches 30 days, recoverable by the city as a civil debt.
