The City of Maricopa does not impose a blanket overnight on-street parking ban. Instead, Municipal Code 10.20.040 caps street parking at 72 consecutive hours, after which a vehicle is subject to removal and a $40 fine. A vehicle is treated as not having moved unless it travels at least 100 feet or the odometer changes by at least one-tenth of a mile.
Maricopa Municipal Code 10.20.040 (Parking duration) provides that no person shall park any vehicle upon any public street, or upon publicly owned, maintained, or operated property, for a period of 72 or more consecutive hours. For purposes of this section, the vehicle is considered to have remained parked unless, during the 72-hour period, it has been moved at least 100 feet from the position it previously occupied, or the odometer shows a change of at least one-tenth of one mile. Vehicles parked in violation are subject to removal and storage at the registered owner's expense, and a violation is punishable by a fine of $40. There is no separate nightly curfew on parking, so overnight parking is generally allowed as long as the vehicle is moved within the 72-hour window, is not blocking traffic or a posted zone under MCC 10.20.030, and is not an oversized or commercial vehicle restricted in residential zones under MCC 10.20.070. Emergency no-parking signs posted under MCC 10.20.060 override these defaults.
After 72 consecutive hours on a public street, a vehicle may be removed and stored at the owner's expense and the owner fined $40 under MCC 10.20.040. Enforcement is handled by the Maricopa Police Department.
