Spring Hill, TN Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

The overnight rule has two prongs, both in subsection (C) of § 15-601 and both operating notwithstanding anything else in the code to the contrary. The first is a nightly ban: no person shall park or leave a vehicle parked on a public street or alley within the fire limits between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. The second is a duration cap for every other public street or alley: no more than 72 consecutive hours. In both cases the Chief of Police is the approving authority, and the code requires that approval to come first.

Related provisions tighten the picture. Section 15-704 authorizes the Police Department to remove and impound an unattended vehicle that is illegally parked or abandoned, and it presumes a vehicle left on any street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours without the Chief's permission to be abandoned if the owner cannot be located after a reasonable investigation. The impound fee is $5 with storage costs of $1 per day, and the owner must claim the vehicle, give satisfactory evidence of ownership and pay all applicable fines and costs.

Large vehicles face a stricter overnight rule. Under § 15-608, commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles cannot park on public streets between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and each residential lot can request a permit from the Chief of Police that allows continuous on-street parking for 72 hours.

Two housekeeping rules in § 15-601 also apply to any parked car. Subsection (B) requires the right wheels to sit approximately parallel to and within 18 inches of the right edge or curb, and subsection (D) bars washing, greasing or working on a vehicle parked on a public street except for repairs necessitated by an emergency.
