Jefferson County's parking ordinance regulates the public road (Highway), not private driveways. The county sets no general limit on how many operable vehicles you may park in your own driveway, but inoperable vehicles and RV living are limited by the zoning code.
The Operation and Parking of Vehicles Ordinance applies to Highways and public property, not to parking on your private driveway, so on-driveway parking of operable vehicles is generally unregulated by this ordinance. Restrictions instead come from the Zoning Resolution: living in an RV requires an Administrative Exception; junk or inoperable vehicles can trigger property-nuisance/zoning enforcement; and HOAs commonly add their own driveway rules. Cities (Lakewood, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Golden) impose separate driveway and front-yard parking standards. Check your zone district and covenants for specifics.
Driveway parking itself is not penalized by the parking ordinance. Inoperable/junk vehicles or unpermitted RV occupancy are enforced under zoning and nuisance provisions, typically via notice and abatement.
