Paulding County, GA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Sec. § 40-1-1, on any county road for more than seven continuous days. Unlike the flat, no-exceptions ban that Sec. 62-63(b) places on commercial vehicles in the same section, this rule gives ordinary residents a full week before a parked car becomes a code violation, which is the practical answer to whether a car can sit at the curb overnight, over a vacation, or while a driver is out of town. "County road" is defined in Sec. 62-61 to cover the road surface, shoulders, sides, and the county-owned or maintained right-of-way generally, so the seven-day clock runs on the public street and shoulder, not on a private driveway.

The sheriff, deputies, and county marshals are authorized under Sec. §§ 15-10-62 and 15-10-63. Because the underlying prohibition and the commercial-vehicle overnight ban both live in Sec. 62-63, the same violations and appeals machinery in the rest of Article III, including the misdemeanor charge in Sec. 62-64 and the day-by-day repeat-offense rule in Sec. 62-65, applies equally to an overstayed passenger car as it does to a parked semi-truck.
