South Fulton, GA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

South Fulton regulates overnight on-street parking through its own Code of Ordinances, Title 8 (Traffic and Vehicles). It is unlawful for any person to park between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the right-of-way of any residential street, ramp, road, or highway under the city's jurisdiction any non-motorized vehicle or conveyance, or any motorized vehicle designated by the Georgia Department of Public Safety for a license tag in any weight category higher than 26,000 pounds. The ordinance carves out exceptions: it does not apply to construction vehicles, trailers, or equipment temporarily located within a construction area and used in connection with dwelling units under construction; and it excepts trailers used for recreation or noncommercial purposes and/or boats being transported to and from locations along a street. There is no general overnight ban on ordinary passenger cars on residential streets, so the rule chiefly targets unhitched trailers, conveyances, and very heavy commercial-class vehicles left on neighborhood streets overnight. Violations escalate: $500.00 for a first offense, $750.00 for a second, and $1,000.00 for each additional offense.
