Unincorporated Stanislaus County has no countywide overnight on-street parking ban. The binding limit is the 72-hour rule (Code Sec. 11.28.030(B)). Some specific road segments are signed as no parking during overnight hours, for example one a.m. to five a.m. or ten p.m. to six a.m. (Code Sec. 11.08.070), but these apply only where posted.
There is no general overnight parking prohibition in Stanislaus County Code Title 11 for the unincorporated area, and no county permit system for overnight parking. A vehicle may be parked overnight on a county street provided it does not remain in one location 72 consecutive hours or more, which is an infraction under Code Sec. 11.28.030(B) (authority Vehicle Code 22651(k)). The county has, however, designated overnight no-parking windows on particular road segments by sign under Code Sec. 11.08.070; published examples include stretches of North Star Way, Galaxy Way, and Stratos Way where parking is prohibited from one a.m. to five a.m., and segments of Greenleaf Circle and other roads posted from ten p.m. to six a.m. or nine p.m. to six a.m. These hourly bans are authorized by Vehicle Code 22507 and are enforceable only where signs give adequate notice. Living in a vehicle, RV, or travel trailer overnight outside a designated campground is separately a county code violation per Code Enforcement. For most residential county streets, overnight parking is permitted so long as the vehicle moves within 72 hours and no posted restriction applies. Complaints about a vehicle that has not moved are directed to the Sheriff or CHP.
Parking overnight on a road segment posted with an overnight no-parking window (for example one a.m. to five a.m.) is an infraction. Leaving a vehicle in one spot for 72 hours or more, overnight or otherwise, is an infraction subject to tow. Sleeping or living in a vehicle outside a campground is a separate code violation.
