RV & Boat Parking: Clovis vs Selma

RVs, boats, and trailers may be stored on residential property in side/rear yards or on driveways with restrictions. Front-yard storage prohibited unless on paved driveway. On-street RV parking limited to 72 hours.

Selma comprehensively regulates RV, boat, and trailer parking under SMC 10-10-33 and the 2024 Zoning Code Update, imposing restrictions on both street parking and on-property storage. Residents may temporarily park an RV on a residential street for up to 72 consecutive hours per month, but only for active loading or unloading purposes such as preparing for a trip or unpacking upon return. Long-term street storage of RVs, boats, or trailers is expressly prohibited. On private property, long-term storage, defined as keeping a vehicle, boat, or trailer in the same location for 48 hours or more, must comply with specific screening and surface requirements outlined in the 2024 Zoning Code Update Section 11-3.1(I)(2). All RVs, boats, and trailers stored outdoors on residential property must be screened from view from public streets, freeways, residential neighborhoods, and open spaces using a wall or fence that matches the primary structure in materials and appearance and complies with applicable height and setback regulations. Parking any of these vehicles on lawns, dirt, gravel, or any other unpaved surface visible from the street is prohibited. Driveway parking for trip preparation is permitted but limited to 48 hours. Living in a travel trailer or RV parked on residential or commercial property is forbidden under SMC 10-10-33(A) and 5-5-2.
