Tustin, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

There is no general overnight curfew on Tustin streets; the only overnight restriction is the Preferential Permit Parking (PPP) Program, which the City's Policies (v.03202023) describe as restricting 'parking from 2 AM - 6 AM, 7 days a week, on permitted streets, except by permit.' Permits are administered by the Police Department, valid only on permitted streets within the resident's district 'from 2 AM to 6 AM daily,' and are virtual — tied to a vehicle's license plate with no physical hangtag. Each eligible resident is limited to one permit, and pricing escalates per household: 'A parking permit is $25.00 for the first preferential parking permit per household,' then $50 for the second, $75 for the third, and $100 for the fourth. Each household also gets 75 free guest permits (75 days) per six-month period. The permit term runs February 1 to January 31. New permit districts are created by petition to Public Works with 65 percent of households in support and a $500 (or $50-per-household) non-refundable fee. State law (CVC 22507.5) is what authorizes a city to restrict 2 a.m.-6 a.m. parking with a resident-permit system, so Tustin's program operates within that authority.
