Newport Beach allows overnight parking on most residential streets but enforces the 72-hour limit citywide and has additional overnight restrictions in certain permit zones and beach-adjacent areas. Oversized vehicles face stricter overnight rules.
Newport Beach does not have a blanket overnight parking ban on most residential streets. However, the city enforces a 72-hour parking limit on all public streets, meaning any vehicle must be moved within three days. In Residential Preferential Parking zones, non-permitted vehicles may be subject to time-limited enforcement that effectively restricts overnight parking for visitors. Near beaches and harbor areas, overnight parking may be restricted by posted signage, particularly in parking lots that close at specific hours. The city prohibits oversized vehicles including RVs, boats on trailers, and commercial vehicles over a certain weight from parking on residential streets overnight. Beach parking lots typically close between 10 PM and 6 AM, and vehicles left overnight may be towed. Street sweeping schedules require vehicles to be moved on designated days and times; failure to move results in citations.
Overnight parking violations may result in citations starting at $50 or more. Vehicles in closed lots or violating oversized vehicle restrictions may be towed at the owner's expense. Contact Parking Enforcement at (949) 644-3717.
