Montebello, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

Montebello Municipal Code Section 10.32.330 makes it unlawful to park a vehicle in a private driveway or on private property without the direct or implied consent of the owner or the person lawfully in possession of it. The section gives property owners a specific tool: they may post a sign reading "NO PARKING WITHOUT CONSENT OF OWNER" directly on the driveway or property. That posted language matters because it converts an ordinary trespass-style parking dispute into an enforceable code violation the Montebello Police Department can act on, rather than leaving the owner to a private civil remedy.

The rule sits in Chapter 10.32, Stopping, Standing and Parking, alongside the city's broader private-property parking authority in Section 10.32.140, which similarly requires that a posted sign state that public parking is prohibited, reference the code section, and list a police department phone number before a vehicle can be cited off a private lot. Together the two sections mean a homeowner whose driveway is blocked by a stranger's car has a direct code basis for a police response once the required signage is in place, distinct from the separate rule in Section 10.32.030 that bars anyone from parking on public driveways, aisleways or pedestrian pathways.
