Citrus Heights enforces California Vehicle Code §22651(k) statewide 72-hour limit on consecutive parking in one location on public streets. Violations result in marking, citation, and potential tow. No overnight parking bans apply citywide.
The 72-hour rule is the primary street parking enforcement tool in Citrus Heights. Under CVC §22651(k), a vehicle parked on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours can be marked (tire chalked or photographed), cited, and towed. Moving a vehicle slightly down the block does not reset the clock; the vehicle must be driven and used. Citrus Heights Police Department handles parking enforcement and responds to complaints through non-emergency reporting. Additional posted restrictions (red zones, street sweeping, permit areas near schools) apply where signed. CVC §22500(f) prohibits parking on or blocking sidewalks. CVC §22507.5 authorizes local oversized-vehicle (over 22 ft or over 7 ft high) parking restrictions between 2 AM and 6 AM. Citrus Heights has adopted such restrictions in residential areas per CHMC Title 62.
72-hour violation fines typically $50-$75 plus tow/storage fees. Blocking sidewalk: $65+. Street sweeping violations: $50+.
