Tucson overnight parking is allowed on most city streets. In the core districts, meters are enforced 08:00-19:00 Monday-Saturday and are free after 7 PM and all day Sunday—see Park Tucson's meter & visitor parking for current hours and the $42 expired-meter fine. There's no Tucson winter parking ban. Booting and towing are authorized when citations go unpaid (TCC §20-203), and immobilized vehicles left for 48 hours are towed. No citywide overnight permit is required, but some neighborhoods have 24/7 residential permit zones managed by Park Tucson. Tip: Always read the meter decal—hours extend to 7 PM—and check for signed permit restrictions near Fourth Avenue and campus to avoid tickets or towing.
