Summary
Sacramento County's parking rule prohibits anyone from parking or storing a vehicle on any highway or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours. Moving the vehicle and re-parking within 300 feet of the original spot still counts as storage unless the vehicle was actually driven.
No person shall park or store a vehicle upon any highway or alley for more than seventy-two consecutive hours, or move and re-park such vehicle on any highway within three hundred feet of the original parking site, unless such vehicle is maintained in an operable condition and was actually driven.
Full Breakdown
The 72-hour rule (Sacramento County Code Title 10 / Vehicle Code §22651(k) for unincorporated areas) targets long-term street storage. Enforcement is complaint-driven through the Code Enforcement Vehicle Abatement program (916-874-6444). After complaint, a chalk-tag or photo timestamp is placed; vehicles still present 72 hours later may be cited and towed at the owner's expense. The 300-ft re-park clause prevents simply shuffling a stored vehicle a few car-lengths each week.
Violations & Fines
Citation under Vehicle Code §22651(k) - typically a parking fine plus tow and storage fees if the vehicle is removed. Repeat storage violations can be charged as nuisance under SCC Title 16.
