Pomona, CA Parking Rules: Driveway Rules (2026)

City Code Sec. 58-234, Parking on Private Property, sets the paving standard for every driveway and private parking area in the city. Subsection (a) bars parking a vehicle in a private driveway or on private property without the direct or implied consent of the property owner or person in lawful possession. Subsection (b) is the surface rule: no one may park a vehicle on private property except on a surface improved and maintained with asphaltic concrete, concrete, or another nonpervious surface acceptable to the building official, which rules out parking on bare dirt, grass or unimproved gravel in a front, side or rear yard.

Subsection (c) limits how long a vehicle can sit in guest parking, whether that guest parking is required by the zoning ordinance or the City Code: 72 hours, unless the property owner permits otherwise. A vehicle left longer is treated as an abandoned vehicle and becomes subject to the City's abandoned-vehicle enforcement provisions. 3 and was last amended by Ordinance No. 3955 § 4 on June 17, 2002. It is enforced by the city's Code Compliance Division, which responds to complaints about vehicles parked on unpaved yards, unauthorized driveway parking, and overstayed guest vehicles alongside the separate recreational-vehicle storage rule in Sec. 34-3 covering RVs, boats and trailers kept behind the front setback.
