10 rules for unincorporated Trinity County, California.
Verified from official government sources
Trinity County has no general county-wide ordinance banning RV, boat or trailer storage on private rural land. On county roads the California Vehicle Code controls, and the County's Snow Removal Policy requires trailers and personal property be kept at least five feet off the roadway so plows can pass in snow areas.
Blocking driveways on Trinity County roads is governed by the California Vehicle Code, and an encroachment permit is required for a new driveway in the county road right-of-way. After plowing, clearing the snow berm across a driveway is the resident's responsibility, and pushing driveway snow into the road is illegal.
Trinity County has no stand-alone county-wide ordinance restricting commercial-vehicle or semi-truck parking on residential roads. On county roads, commercial vehicles follow the California Vehicle Code and posted bridge weight limits, while the County controls heavy/overweight loads through a road-department permit.
On unincorporated Trinity County roads, street parking is governed by Title 10 of the County Code together with the California Vehicle Code. Trinity County Code Chapter 10.48 sets time limits and specific no-parking locations in Weaverville and Lewiston, with fines up to $250 for repeat offenders.
Trinity County publishes no blanket overnight on-street parking ban for its unincorporated roads. The controlling time limit is the California Vehicle Code 72-hour rule, plus the County Snow Removal Policy, which bars parking in the county road right-of-way during snow-removal operations.
Trinity County has no local electric-vehicle parking or charging ordinance. EV-readiness for new construction in the unincorporated county comes from California's statewide green building code, CALGreen, enforced through the County's building permit process; no Trinity County ordinance reserves public parking spaces for EV charging.
Trinity County Code Chapter 10.60 declares abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles a public nuisance and provides for their abatement under the California Vehicle Code. The County's general services manager runs the program, posting notice on the vehicle for at least five days before removal.
Trinity County has no general county-wide loading-zone system for its unincorporated roads. The County Code designates only a single school-bus loading zone at Trinity County High School in Weaverville plus a 15-minute courthouse loading space; general loading on county roads follows the California Vehicle Code.
Trinity County has no general ordinance capping oversized-vehicle parking on residential roads, though Code §10.48.035 bars trucks, RVs and trailers from parts of Court Street in Weaverville. Statewide size and weight limits come from the California Vehicle Code, and posted county bridge limits cap gross weight at 14,000 pounds in places.
Trinity County's Snow Removal Policy #2010-01 prohibits parking in the county road right-of-way during snow-removal operations; vehicles blocking plows are towed at the owner's expense.
