DeSoto generally permits overnight street parking for registered, operable passenger vehicles on residential streets, with no blanket overnight ban. However, vehicles cannot remain in the same spot on a public street for more than 72 hours without being moved — this is considered abandoned and subject to tow. Commercial parking lots, parks, and public facility lots prohibit overnight parking unless posted otherwise. RVs and commercial vehicles face additional restrictions even overnight. HOA rules within subdivisions may impose stricter standards.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Desoto code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
