Johns Creek has no city ordinance imposing a general overnight ban or time limit on ordinary passenger cars parked on residential streets. On-street parking, day or night, is regulated by Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 40-6-200 to 40-6-203) and by posted no-parking signs the Police Department enforces.
Unlike some neighboring cities, Johns Creek does not publish a blanket overnight on-street parking prohibition or a fixed time limit for passenger vehicles in its Code of Ordinances. The Police Department's parking-enforcement policy (02-27) directs officers to enforce the no-parking zones established by the city Code of Ordinances and by O.C.G.A. 40-6-202 and 40-6-203, rather than a citywide overnight curfew. As a result, leaving a registered, operable passenger car parked overnight on a public street is generally permitted unless it is in a posted no-parking zone, blocks a driveway or hydrant, or otherwise violates O.C.G.A. 40-6-203. Two important caveats apply to the yard, not the street: under Zoning Sec. 18.3.2, trucks and trailers exceeding four tons empty weight may not be stored or parked in any residential district (except while moving household goods or making deliveries), and Sec. 18.3.1 limits where vehicles may be parked or stored on a residential lot. Many Johns Creek neighborhoods are also governed by homeowners' association rules that can restrict overnight street parking independently of city law.
There is no general overnight-parking citation for passenger cars, but a vehicle left overnight in a posted no-parking zone, blocking a driveway, or within 15 feet of a hydrant can be ticketed under O.C.G.A. 40-6-203. A vehicle left unattended on a public street for five or more days may be processed as abandoned under O.C.G.A. ch. 40-11. HOA covenants may impose stricter overnight rules enforced privately.
