2 rules for unincorporated El Dorado County, California.
Verified from official government sources
El Dorado County Code Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) and Title 130 (Zoning) regulate where RVs, boats, and trailers can be parked on residential parcels in unincorporated areas. RV use as temporary housing is allowed on parcels of 1 acre or larger zoned for residential use under a Temporary Recreational Vehicle Permit (Title 130) - up to two years per permit, one permit per lot. Within an established RV park or campground, the maximum length of stay is 30 days. On residential parcels, RVs and boats may be stored on the owner's property subject to zoning setbacks; within many El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park, and Tahoe-area HOAs, separate CC&Rs further restrict RV/boat storage. Street parking is governed by Title 10 and California Vehicle Code Section 22651.
In the Lake Tahoe Basin portion of unincorporated El Dorado County (Strawberry east to Tahoma and Meyers), the Board of Supervisors adopted updated winter no-parking restrictions on county-owned public roads, highways, and rights-of-way that are in effect annually from November 1 to May 1. The previous rule prohibited parking only 'when snow removal conditions exist' - which created enforcement ambiguity. The current ordinance, aligned with neighboring Placer County's approach, imposes a flat no-parking rule for the entire winter window so that snow plows can operate without interference. Violations are subject to citation and towing under Title 10 and California Vehicle Code.
