Jackson County restricts overnight parking on county roads and enforces residential parking rules in incorporated cities. Pascagoula, Moss Point, Ocean Springs, and Gautier each have separate overnight parking ordinances, commonly restricting 2 AM to 6 AM on designated streets. Hurricane evacuation routes have special clearing requirements during declared emergencies.
Jackson County and its incorporated municipalities regulate overnight street parking to facilitate street sweeping, drainage maintenance, and emergency access. The county does not impose a blanket overnight ban on unincorporated county roads but restricts parking within 30 feet of intersections and prohibits parking on the traveled portion of narrow rural roads. Municipal overnight parking rules vary: Ocean Springs restricts overnight parking in its historic district between 2 AM and 6 AM, Pascagoula enforces overnight restrictions near the shipyard during shift changes, Moss Point has residential zone restrictions, and Gautier enforces homeowner-association-driven street standards in many subdivisions. Hurricane evacuation routes, including Highway 90 (Beach Boulevard) and MS-609, must be completely cleared of parked vehicles when an MS Highway Patrol or Governor's evacuation order is issued; vehicles left on these routes during a declared tropical storm or hurricane warning may be towed without notice. Vehicles parked on public streets for more than 48 hours in the same location may be tagged as abandoned under MS Code Β§63-23-1.
Routine overnight parking tickets: $25 to $75. Parking in no-parking zone: $50 to $100. Parking on hurricane evacuation route during declared emergency: immediate towing at owner expense ($175 to $350 plus storage). Abandoned vehicle classification after 48-72 hours: tow and impound under MS Code Β§63-23-1.
