Unincorporated Sacramento County does not impose a blanket overnight street-parking ban. Instead, County Code Section 10.24.070 prohibits parking any vehicle on a highway or alley for more than 72 continuous hours, with the same 72-hour cap on motor homes, trailer coaches, and truck-and-camper rigs in residential districts.
There is no general 'no parking overnight' rule for County streets; the governing limit is the 72-hour rule in County Code Section 10.24.070. Under that section, no person who owns or controls a vehicle may park or store it on any highway or alley for more than a consecutive period of 72 hours, and a driver cannot evade the limit by moving and re-parking the vehicle within 300 feet of the original spot during any 72-hour period. The same 72-hour-and-300-foot rule applies specifically to any motor home, trailer coach, or truck and camper parked on a highway in a residential district. A vehicle left on a roadway beyond 72 hours is treated as abandoned and may be tagged and removed. Posted signs may impose shorter limits in specific locations, and curb colors (red, yellow, white, green, blue) under Section 10.24.010 control where they appear. For routine overnight parking outside posted-restriction zones, vehicles generally may remain, subject to the 72-hour ceiling and California Vehicle Code rules.
A vehicle parked over 72 hours violates Section 10.24.070 and is considered abandoned; it may be posted with a notice of intent to abate and then towed. Re-parking within 300 feet to reset the clock is expressly prohibited. Enforcement combines Sheriff parking enforcement (citations) and Code Enforcement (abatement and removal).
