Noblesville, IN Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 72.47, added by Ordinance 67-09-21 on September 28, 2021, sets Noblesville's default overnight and long-term parking limit: no motor vehicle may sit on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours, whether or not any sign is posted at that spot, making it the citywide backstop against a car being stored on the street indefinitely, night after night. The same section separately bars leaving any unattached trailer on a public street, alley, or roadway at all, with a narrow exception for trailers used in public utility repair or maintenance, and allows the Board of Public Works & Safety to grant temporary exceptions for street booths and concessions tied to an approved activity.

Where the city wants a tighter, hour-specific overnight ban on a particular street rather than the 72-hour citywide default, § 72.42 lets the Board of Public Works & Safety post signs restricting parking during the exact hours and locations listed in Chapter 78's Schedule VI, which the board updates by resolution; without a posted sign, § 72.42 itself imposes no restriction, unlike the sign-free 72-hour rule of § 72.47. Both provisions sit in Chapter 72's subchapter on stopping, standing, or parking restricted on certain streets, enforced by the Noblesville Police Department and the Board's contracted parking enforcement company.

A vehicle left past 72 hours is cited under the § 132.02 fine schedule for a Parking on Public Street violation: $50, rising to $100 if the citation becomes delinquent, double the standard $25/$50 rate for most other Chapter 72 offenses.
