Menifee permits passenger vehicles and connected RVs on residential driveways but expressly prohibits parking unattached trailers on driveways or streets. Driveway parking is also governed by Title 9 Development Code parking standards (Ch. 9.215).
Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 12.20 (Vehicle Parking), per the Menifee Police Department Code Enforcement guidance, treats driveways as private property where standard passenger vehicles may park. However, the city explicitly prohibits parking unattached/unhitched trailers of any kind on driveways or streets at any time (MMC § 12.20.150-60). Recreational vehicles and motorhomes may remain in driveways provided they do not obstruct the public right-of-way and are not connected to utilities (no permanent water/sewer/electric hookups). Off-street parking design standards (size, surfacing, dimensions) for new development are set by Menifee Development Code Chapter 9.215 (Parking and Loading Standards) § 9.215.040 (Development Standards). The city does not preempt private CC&Rs — many master-planned HOAs in Sun City, Audie Murphy Ranch, and Heritage Lake impose stricter driveway rules.
Code enforcement citation under MMC § 12.20.150-60 for unattached trailers; civil/HOA enforcement for CC&R violations. Tow under Cal. Veh. Code § 22658 for vehicles improperly stored on private property.
