Summary
The City of Flint doesn't allow a vehicle to sit on a public street past twenty-four consecutive hours, the rule that stops cars, RVs and camping equipment from being left parked overnight indefinitely.
No person shall park a vehicle, recreational vehicle and/or any camping equipment, as defined in § 50-105 of this Code of ordinances, on any street for a period of time longer than twenty-four (24) hours.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2016 Code: Local legislation current through Ordinance 3821, passed 3-1-2012).
Full Breakdown
Under § 28-86 of the Flint Code, no vehicle, including a recreational vehicle or camping equipment as defined in § 50-105, may be parked on any City street for longer than twenty-four hours straight. The rule isn't a curfew tied to a clock; it's a rolling 24-hour cap, so a car left on the same block past that window is in violation regardless of what time it was parked. This is the provision that effectively controls extended overnight and multi-day street parking in Flint.
Violations & Fines
Parking beyond 24 hours on a City street violates § 28-86 and can result in a parking citation and, under § 28-38, removal of the vehicle by the Flint Police Chief or police agency at the owner's expense.
