Longmont FAQ

Can I park my motorhome or fifth-wheel on the street in Longmont?

Only with a permit. Under LMC Chapter 11.12, sleeper vehicles - including camper coaches, camper trailers, motor homes, multi-purpose trailers, trailer coaches, and recreational vehicles - are prohibited on public streets, alleys, and rights-of-way without a permit. A 7-day permit costs $25, with a limit of four per vehicle per calendar year and no back-to-back issuance. After a permit expires, the RV must stay off the public way for the following seven days.

What about a big box truck or flatbed trailer in my Longmont neighborhood?

Box trucks, flatbed trailers, dump trucks, and similar large non-sleeper vehicles are subject to Longmont's universal on-street parking rules under LMC Chapter 11.12: 48 hours maximum in one location, then a required 600-foot move with no return to the same spot for at least seven days. They may not block driveways, fire hydrants, fire lanes, or sight distance, and they may not be parked on unimproved (non-paved, non-gravel) areas of a residential yard.
