Menifee FAQ

Can I park my RV in my driveway in Menifee?

Yes. The city's parking handout expressly permits campers and recreational vehicles to be stored on the driveway or yard areas of the owner's property. Title 9 Development Code zoning standards may impose screening or front-setback limits β€” confirm with Community Development for your specific zone.

How long can I leave my RV on the street?

A maximum of 48 hours at a time, up to 4 days total per month, and only for loading/unloading equipment and supplies. The general 72-hour rule applies to any vehicle or trailer, but the stricter RV rule (48 hours) controls for recreational vehicles.

Yes, but only with your (the homeowner's) permission, and still within the 48-hour / 4-days-per-month cap. The visiting RV must be parked in front of the host's home β€” not elsewhere on the street.
