Phoenix regulates overnight parking through Chapter 36 (Vehicles and Traffic). On-street parking is generally permitted overnight unless posted otherwise. Vehicles left for more than 15 days are considered abandoned under Phoenix Police Operations Order 7.5.06. RV and trailer parking on streets may be subject to additional restrictions.
Phoenix may restrict overnight street parking, typically between 2 AM and 6 AM. Some areas require overnight parking permits while others ban it entirely on certain streets. Restrictions help with street sweeping, snow removal, and crime prevention. Vehicles parked overnight without authorization may be ticketed or towed. Some neighborhoods have resident permit parking programs for overnight exceptions.
Parking tickets typically $25 to $75. Vehicles may be towed at owner expense ($150 to $300+ plus daily storage).
