Overnight street parking in unincorporated San Joaquin County is generally permitted except on posted roadways, but California Vehicle Code Β§22651(k) allows any parked vehicle that remains in one spot for more than 72 consecutive hours to be towed. Stockton Municipal Code Β§10.64.090 and Lodi Municipal Code Β§10.24 add local street-sweeping restrictions. RVs and oversized vehicles face stricter overnight rules in each city.
San Joaquin County has no county-wide overnight parking ban on residential streets in unincorporated areas, but the 72-hour rule under California Vehicle Code Β§22651(k) allows the Sheriff's Office to tow any vehicle that has not moved in 72 consecutive hours upon complaint. Stockton has selective overnight parking restrictions on certain downtown and school-zone streets posted 2 AM to 5 AM, plus street-sweeping restrictions under Stockton Municipal Code Β§10.64.090 that ticket vehicles parked during posted cleaning windows ($55 typical fine). Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 10.24 similarly enforces posted overnight and sweeping restrictions. Manteca Municipal Code Β§10.20 bans overnight RV/oversized-vehicle parking on streets (vehicles over 7 feet tall, 22 feet long, or 80 inches wide may not park 2 AM to 5 AM). Residential permit parking districts exist near the University of the Pacific (Stockton) and Lodi High School zones. Vehicles parked in violation are cited and may be towed at owner expense ($250 to $500 tow plus daily storage). Disabled placard holders receive the same general time protections but cannot overstay 72 hours.
72-hour violation (CVC Β§22651(k)): vehicle towed at owner expense, typical $250 to $500 tow fee plus $60/day storage. Stockton street sweeping ticket: $55. Manteca oversized-vehicle overnight: $100 first offense, escalating to tow. Lodi downtown overnight zones: $50 to $100. Permit parking district violation: $50 ticket.
