Metro Nashville has no general overnight street parking ban, but residential permit parking zones and posted restrictions apply. No parking 2am-6am on some downtown and commercial corridors.
Davidson County has no blanket overnight street parking prohibition. Metro Code Title 12.40 (Stopping, Standing, and Parking) allows on-street parking in most residential areas. Specific restrictions apply in Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zones designated around Vanderbilt, Belmont, and East Nashville where non-permit vehicles face 2-hour limits 24/7 or evening restrictions. Downtown and Gulch streets commonly post no-parking windows overnight for street cleaning. Parking on unpaved surfaces in a front yard is prohibited under Metro §17.12.080. Vehicles cannot park more than 72 hours in the same space (Metro §12.40.120).
RPP violations $20-$50. Street cleaning violations $20. 72-hour violations: tag then tow. Yard parking citations $50 with correction order.
