Whitfield County, GA Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 6-4(d) sits in the same Article VI (Parking) as the county's heavy-truck ban but addresses a different problem: overnight street parking rather than lot-based storage. Any state-licensed commercial vehicle, any bus, and any recreational vehicle is barred from parking overnight upon the street within a residential district of unincorporated Whitfield County. The ordinance carves out one exception: a vehicle may stop temporarily to make a delivery or pickup, or so its occupant can perform work at the residence, such as a contractor's truck during a job.

That exception covers daytime work, not overnight storage. The rule applies countywide across every residential zone district and is separate from the county's temporary RV living permit under Sections 5-129 and 5-130, which lets a family occupy a camper on their own lot while a new home is under construction; that permit does not authorize an RV, camper, bus, or oversized commercial truck to sit overnight in the street. Article VI was re-enacted in its current form by Ord. No. 2024-06101 on June 10, 2024.

Enforcement runs through the Zoning Administrator's office under Article XI: any Code Enforcement Officer, Sheriff's Deputy, or the Zoning Administrator can issue a citation for a vehicle found parked overnight in violation, and the Zoning Administrator can also pursue injunctive relief in Whitfield County Superior Court for a repeat or ongoing problem.
