Phoenix overnight parking is allowed on most city streets so long as signs do not prohibit it. Note the City Code 48-hour continuous parking rule (enforced after notice) in Phoenix City Code, Chapter 36. Meters and pay stations are enforced 08:00-22:00 daily downtown and in select districts; outside those hours, posted restrictions still apply (Parking Services). Certain blocks near activity centers use the Residential Permit Parking Program; residents can apply using the City form (see the RPPP application). Towing is enforced by Phoenix Police; check vehicle towing info. Tip: if your car receives a 48-hour notice tag, move it to a different legal space before the deadline to avoid citation or tow.
