Yuba County, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Yuba County does not generally restrict parking a vehicle on your own driveway in the unincorporated area. Under Development Code Section 11.25.120 (Parking and storage of recreational vehicles), recreational vehicles, trailers and boats may not be parked or stored in a required front yard or street-side setback area, but driveways are expressly excluded from that prohibition, meaning an RV, trailer or boat may be parked or stored in a driveway as well as in a side yard or rear yard. The county's Code Enforcement Division reinforces a few practical limits in its vehicle-abatement guidance: do not block a sidewalk or driveway, and do not park vehicles on a lawn. Vehicles parked in a driveway must still be operable and registered, because abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicles are a public nuisance under Chapter 7.35 even on private property. Where a driveway crosses the public right-of-way, the California Vehicle Code Section 22500 prohibition on stopping or parking in front of a driveway applies, so a vehicle in the driveway apron must not extend over the sidewalk or block the public walkway.
