Unincorporated Lassen County has no specific driveway-parking ordinance; the California Vehicle Code prohibits parking in front of any driveway or on a sidewalk. Driveway approaches onto county roads require a Public Works encroachment permit.
Lassen County does not have a stand-alone ordinance dictating how residents may park in their own driveways, so the governing rules on county roads come from the California Vehicle Code. CVC Section 22500(e) makes it unlawful to stop, park or leave a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway, and CVC Section 22500(f) prohibits parking on a sidewalk or with the vehicle body extending over a sidewalk. These apply countywide on the public right-of-way. Constructing or modifying a driveway approach that connects to a county-maintained road is regulated separately: the connection occupies the public right-of-way and generally requires an encroachment permit from Lassen County Public Works/Roads, which administers and maintains the county road and bridge system. On private property itself, the county does not generally restrict where a resident parks personal vehicles, though zoning standards (Title 18) can govern required off-street parking, setbacks and, in the camping combining district, the placement of RVs used for camping.
Blocking a driveway or parking on a sidewalk is a CVC 22500 infraction enforced by the Sheriff, and such vehicles may be towed under CVC 22651. Building a driveway approach onto a county road without an encroachment permit is a Public Works violation subject to correction and permit requirements.
