Vacaville, CA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Unlike many California cities, Vacaville has not enacted a citywide overnight prohibition on residential street parking. Residents and visitors may generally park overnight on public streets so long as: (1) the vehicle is moved at least every 72 consecutive hours (California Vehicle Code §22651(k), as implemented locally through VMC Chapter 10.48); (2) the vehicle does not violate any of the prohibitions in VMC §10.20.020 (no blocking driveways, no parking in red/yellow/white/blue zones, no parking in front of an ADA curb ramp, no parking against traffic, no parking on a sidewalk); (3) a 10,000-lb-or-heavier commercial vehicle is not parked within 600 feet of an occupied dwelling without a Vacaville PD permit (VMC §10.20.020(N)); and (4) the street is not posted with a specific time restriction (school zones, street-sweeping, downtown core, etc.). VMC Chapter 10.24 establishes downtown Parking Meter Zones where meter rules end at posted times. The City uses neighborhood permit-parking districts on a case-by-case basis where authorized by ordinance.
