Folsom has no citywide overnight parking ban on public streets. The 72-hour rule under CVC §22651(k) is the primary limit. Some commercial lots, parks, and permit-zone neighborhoods post overnight restrictions. Sleeping in vehicles in parks is prohibited.
Unlike some California cities, Folsom does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban on residential streets. The controlling rule remains California Vehicle Code §22651(k) — 72 consecutive hours triggers tow authority. However, posted restrictions apply in specific locations: Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and city parks close from dusk to dawn and vehicles left overnight can be cited and towed. Folsom Historic District and a few permit-parking blocks have posted overnight rules. Business parking lots typically post their own overnight restrictions enforced by private tow operators. Sleeping in a vehicle (vehicle habitation) is restricted under FMC provisions addressing unlawful camping.
