Full Breakdown
There is no Simi Valley citywide ordinance prohibiting all overnight on-street parking for passenger vehicles.

The City Police Department's Parking Hotline ((805) 583-6921) accepts complaints when a vehicle has not moved in 72 hours. RVs, motorhomes, boats, and other vehicles exceeding 23 feet long, 7 feet wide, or 8 feet high are subject to the stricter 48-hour rule of SVMC 4-9.402 at a registered Simi Valley address. Posted school zones, street-sweeping signs, red curbs, and bike-lane restrictions may impose their own overnight or time-of-day limits and are enforced separately by the Simi Valley Police Department under Chapter 9 of Title 4 (Traffic) of the Municipal Code.

Vehicles in violation of the 72-hour rule may be towed under CVC 22651(k). Oversized vehicles violating the 48-hour limit are cited under SVMC 4-9.402 and may be towed at the owner's expense.
