Rancho Cordova enforces the statewide 72-hour street parking limit under California Vehicle Code 22651(k). Vehicles parked longer without movement may be tagged, cited, and towed.
California Vehicle Code §22651(k) authorizes removal of any vehicle parked on a public street for 72 consecutive hours or more. Rancho Cordova Police Department and contract parking enforcement respond to complaints by marking tires and returning after 72 hours to verify non-movement. Posted signs may establish shorter limits (2-hour, 4-hour) in commercial corridors along Folsom Boulevard and near the light rail stations. Moving a vehicle to another spot on the same block does not reset the 72-hour clock. Residents can report long-abandoned vehicles through the City customer service portal.
72-hour violation: warning tag then tow at owner expense (typically 300 to 500 dollars plus storage). Posted time-limit violations: 50 to 75 dollar citation.
