Marin County has no county-wide overnight parking ban; on County roads designated by Board of Supervisors resolution and posted with signs, no vehicle may park between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Marin County Code section 15.36.070 prohibits any vehicle (as defined in California Vehicle Code section 670) from being parked between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on County roads or locations specified by the Marin County Board of Supervisors by resolution. The restriction cannot be enforced until adequate signage informing the public has been installed. A companion provision, MCC 15.36.080, applies on other designated roads but exempts automobiles, motorcycles (CVC section 400), and pickups (CVC section 471) - effectively targeting RVs, trailers, large vans, and similar vehicles. The 72-hour limit under MCC 15.36.030 applies countywide regardless of overnight signage. Violations are infractions punishable by a $100 fine for each overnight period the violation occurs (MCC 15.36.100).
Each overnight parking period that the violation occurs is treated as a separate infraction punishable by a $100 fine (MCC 15.36.100). Vehicles may also be towed if they otherwise violate the California Vehicle Code.
