Thousand Oaks permits overnight street parking but enforces the 72-hour vehicle storage limit and restricts oversized vehicles in residential areas. Specific streets may have posted parking restrictions that prohibit or limit overnight parking.
Thousand Oaks does not impose a citywide overnight street parking ban. However, vehicles parked on public streets must display current registration and may not remain in the same location for more than 72 consecutive hours per CVC Section 22651(k). Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, and commercial vehicles over certain size thresholds face additional restrictions in residential neighborhoods under the Municipal Code. The city posts specific parking restrictions in areas with recurring congestion or safety concerns. Permit parking programs may exist in neighborhoods near commercial districts or the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. Street sweeping schedules require vehicles to be moved on designated days. The Thousand Oaks Police Department handles street parking enforcement and responds to parking complaints in residential areas.
Vehicles parked over 72 hours may be marked, cited, and towed with fees of $200-$500 for towing and daily storage charges. Oversized vehicle violations carry fines of $75-$250. Street sweeping violations result in $65 citations. Vehicles without current registration may be cited and towed immediately. Contact Thousand Oaks PD at (805) 494-8200 for parking enforcement questions.
