Can I park overnight in Garden Grove?

No citywide passenger-car overnight ban was confirmed in the reviewed chapter, but that finding does not establish blanket permission.

How long can a vehicle stay?
No more than 72 consecutive hours on public property; moving less than 50 feet on the same side does not reset the clock. A shorter posted or vehicle-specific limit still controls.
When is street sweeping?
Residential routes are generally twice monthly, 8 AM–4 PM; posted tract or street signs govern and enforcement runs rain or shine. Published schedules do not replace the sign at the exact curb.
What about RVs and oversized vehicles?
Vehicles over 22 feet, over 80 inches wide, any RV, or any trailer require a permit; residential loading permits are limited to 72 hours and 12 per year. Controlling GGMC §10.56.110 and Ordinance 2957 use an 80-inch width threshold. The Police permit webpage currently says 22 inches, which conflicts with the ordinance; rely on the controlling threshold and still verify current permit conditions.
