Summary
Where the police chief has a no-parking sign posted, South Fulton bans street parking between midnight and 6:00 a.m. It is a $40 fine per violation, and each night a vehicle stays counts as a separate offense.

Full Breakdown
Section 8-1017(b) authorizes the police chief or a designee to post signs creating additional no-parking conditions beyond the standing list in subsection (a). , unless a law enforcement official or traffic control device directs otherwise. The same posted-sign authority also lets the city bar parking that would reduce a street's usable width below 25 feet, listed in (b)(2). Because the overnight ban is sign-triggered rather than citywide, it typically appears on streets where HOA or non-HOA communities have requested it: section 8-1019 lets residential communities apply to the city manager, in partnership with public works and the police and fire departments, for parking enforcement signs, and requires HOA applications to carry three board members' notarized signatures or, for non-HOA streets, signatures from at least 60 percent of adjacent occupied residences.
00 fine under subsection (c), with towing or impound available in addition, and each day of noncompliance treated as a separate violation, so a vehicle left overnight repeatedly accrues repeat fines.
Violations & Fines
A $40.00 fine per violation under section 8-1017(c) once a no-parking sign is posted for the 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. window, plus possible towing or impound. Each day the vehicle remains in the posted zone overnight is a separate violation, so repeat nights mean repeat $40 fines.
