Atlanta overnight parking is generally allowed on city streets unless signs or meters say otherwise—there’s no citywide overnight ban. Some blocks are Residential Permit Parking only, so check curbside signs and Atlanta’s permit info on the ATLDOT RPP page. The City’s parking program (ATLPlus) enforces meters and curb rules; ticket disputes run through the Parking Administrative Review program. Vehicles with multiple unpaid tickets can be booted or towed, and impounds can be searched via the APD portal: find my towed vehicle. There’s no seasonal snow ban, but temporary restrictions may be posted for events or weather. Tip: late-night parkers should always read block-by-block signs and avoid permit-only or loading zones to prevent boot/tow.
