Chino enforces California Vehicle Code §22651(k) — any vehicle parked on a public street for 72+ consecutive hours can be tagged, cited, and towed. The City also prohibits parking on swept-side streets during scheduled street sweeping (twice monthly, odd/even address rotation). Commercial vehicles cannot park on public or private property except to load/unload, max 3 hours (Chino Municipal Code Chapter 10.30, as amended by Ordinance 2021-005).
Public street parking in Chino is governed by Title 10 of the Chino Municipal Code (Vehicles and Traffic) layered on top of the California Vehicle Code. Under CVC §22651(k), a vehicle that remains parked on a public highway in the same spot for 72 or more consecutive hours may be removed by police — Chino police enforce this through marked-tire surveys after a complaint. Street sweeping in Chino runs twice monthly via Sweeping Corp of America (SCA) under contract with Waste Management; the City uses an odd/even house-number system, meaning only one side of the street is swept per sweep day and parking is prohibited on that side until the sweeper passes. Holidays (New Year's, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) delay sweeping by one day. Commercial-vehicle restrictions under Chino Municipal Code Chapter 10.30 (most recently amended by Ordinance 2021-005) make it unlawful for any commercial vehicle, trailer, or semi-trailer to remain parked on public or private property except for active loading/unloading, and even then no more than three consecutive hours; vehicles left six hours or more are deemed abandoned. Parking enforcement is handled by Chino Police (909-628-1234).
Citation under CVC §22651(k) for 72-hour overtime parking; tow at owner expense. Street-sweeping side-of-street violations carry a separate parking ticket. Commercial vehicles exceeding three hours receive a written citation under CMC Chapter 10.30; six+ hours = deemed abandoned and subject to tow. California state law caps base parking fines at amounts set by the local fine schedule, plus DMV and county surcharges.
