St. Tammany Parish, LA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Sec. 24-29 governs everyday on-street parking across the unincorporated parish: no one may park or abandon a vehicle on any public street, highway or roadway for more than 48 consecutive hours.

00 plus court costs set by the 22nd Judicial District Court Costs Schedule for any chapter 24 violation lacking a specific penalty. Sec. 24-32 covers targeted no-parking zones: rather than compiling every posted no-parking stretch into the Code, the parish council designates them by separate ordinance, and the department of public works keeps the official records of every no-parking zone and its variations.

Disabled vehicles get up to one hour before towing exposure there, and marked construction, utility, law enforcement, fire and medical vehicles are exempt.
