Can I park overnight in Mission Viejo?

When is street sweeping?
Operation Clean Street is voluntary. Sweeping runs every other week after trash day, with a one-day holiday shift. No citation authority or machine-readable route data was found, so it must not be shown as a legal no-parking verdict.
What about RVs or oversized vehicles?
Large vehicles face a citywide restriction with limited exceptions. The rule covers vehicles over 25 feet or 10,000 pounds and specified wide commercial vehicles; in-block service can qualify for up to 72 hours.

Is this a street-level parking verdict?
No. Check the exact sign and curb. This guide summarizes citywide sources. It does not confirm every curb, permit, holiday exception, private street, temporary order, or whether a permit holder is eligible.
Some official sources were checked on 2026-09-15. Sweeping service and the oversized-vehicle rule were confirmed, but the citywide 72-hour reset test and a complete overnight review remain unconfirmed.
