Elk Grove does not impose a citywide overnight parking ban on passenger vehicles, but CVC §22651(k) still limits any street parking to 72 consecutive hours. Posted permit districts, oversized-vehicle zones, and school zones have additional overnight restrictions.
Unlike some California cities, Elk Grove does not enforce a blanket overnight parking ban on ordinary passenger cars in residential neighborhoods. However, all street parking is governed by the 72-hour rule in CVC §22651(k), and specific neighborhoods may have permit-parking districts with overnight limits posted on regulatory signs. Oversized and commercial vehicles face the 2 AM–6 AM restrictions described under CVC §22507.5. Parking in city parks overnight is prohibited per posted hours, and Civic Center and library lots close overnight. Certain school zones and HOA private streets have their own rules that the City does not enforce; HOAs must use a private towing contractor.
