Unincorporated DeSoto County has no blanket overnight street parking ban; county roads lack curbs. Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, and Hernando city ordinances restrict overnight parking on major roads and ban overnight parking in city parks (typically 10 PM to 6 AM).
Unincorporated DeSoto County generally does not prohibit overnight parking on subdivision streets, though parking must not obstruct traffic, emergency vehicles, or mail delivery under MS Code §63-3-903. Within the four incorporated cities, overnight parking ordinances vary: most prohibit parking in public parks from 10 PM to 6 AM (Central Park and Snowden Grove in Southaven, Wesson Park in Olive Branch), restrict overnight parking on designated arterials (Goodman Road/MS-302, Stateline Road, Highway 51), and require vehicles parked on residential streets for more than 48-72 hours to be moved to avoid abandoned-vehicle classification. Seasonal restrictions do not apply (no municipal snow removal program — MDOT handles state highways). On-street parking is prohibited during any declared weather emergency. HOAs in master-planned communities (Snowden Grove, Cherry Tree, Plantation Lakes, Eastover) commonly ban overnight street parking entirely via CC&Rs. Commercial vehicles over 1-ton and trailers have stricter parking rules (see commercial-vehicles subcategory).
City park overnight: $25-$100 citation, possible tow. Obstruction of traffic (§63-3-903): misdemeanor, fine up to $100. Abandoned vehicle on street (after 72 hrs): towing at owner expense ($150-$350 plus storage). HOA violations: CC&R fines typically $25-$100.
