Jackson restricts overnight on-street parking in designated areas. Unincorporated Hinds County generally allows overnight street parking on public roads. No citywide 2 AM-6 AM ban.
Jackson's parking ordinance (Code of Ordinances Ch. 130) regulates on-street parking with time-limited zones in downtown, Fondren, and near Jackson State University. No blanket citywide overnight ban exists in Jackson, but specific streets and districts post hours. Overnight parking on private property is permitted. Unincorporated Hinds County roads (maintained by the Hinds County Road Department) generally allow overnight parking where not otherwise signed. Smaller municipalities (Clinton, Byram, Raymond, Terry) set their own rules — most do not ban overnight residential street parking outright. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles are subject to separate nuisance enforcement. Hinds County sheriffs and Jackson PD may tow vehicles blocking traffic or fire hydrants.
Parking in restricted zones: Jackson tickets typically $25-$50. Blocking hydrant or drive: $50+. Towing for repeat/abandoned vehicles: owner pays $150+ plus storage.
