Indiana sets no statewide overnight ban, but Hamilton County cities cap how long a vehicle may sit on a public street. Noblesville and Fishers both prohibit leaving a vehicle on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours.
Overnight parking on public streets is generally allowed in Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville, but only for a limited time. Noblesville prohibits parking a motor vehicle on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours, and Fishers applies the same 72-hour ceiling to recreational vehicles and trailers on the right-of-way, requiring a 30-day break before returning. Cars parked past these windows can be tagged and towed as presumed abandoned. Many neighborhoods and HOAs impose stricter overnight bans by private covenant. Unincorporated county roads have no municipal overnight rule beyond state abandoned-vehicle law, IC 9-22-1.
Vehicle tagged after the limit, then ticketed and towed at the owner's expense if not moved.
