Montgomery County does not impose a countywide overnight parking ban on public streets. However, many residential streets have posted signs restricting parking between 2 AM and 6 AM or other overnight hours. These restrictions are enforced by Montgomery County Police non-emergency services. Commercial vehicles exceeding 10,000 lbs gross vehicle weight are prohibited from parking on residential streets overnight under Ch 31 of the County Code. Recreational vehicles and trailers stored on residential streets for more than 72 consecutive hours may receive violation notices. HOA-governed communities frequently impose stricter overnight parking rules, including guest registration requirements. Montgomery County Code Ch 31, Article 5 governs parking enforcement on county roads. Residents can request parking studies from MCDOT to establish or modify overnight restrictions on their street.
