On Rialto residential property, vehicles must be kept on the driveway or in the garage. Parking on front lawns, landscaped areas or any non-paved surface is prohibited (RMC 10.28.292), as is parking on vacant or undeveloped land (RMC 18.58.020).
The city's Community Compliance Division enforces Section 10.28.292(A) of the Rialto Municipal Code, which prohibits parking or storing motor vehicles, recreational vehicles or similar vehicles on lawns, landscaped areas, vacant land or other non-paved surfaces in residential zones. The city's official Vehicle Storage & Parking handout tells residents to keep vehicles on the driveway or in the garage and lists parking on the front lawn and parking on unpaved surfaces among the most common code violations. Section 18.58.020 of the zoning code separately prohibits parking or storing vehicles on vacant or undeveloped land. Complaints are handled by Community Compliance at 128 N. Willow Ave., (909) 820-8070.
Community Compliance investigates complaints and requires correction; parking violations under Chapter 10.28 are civil penalties with fines set by city council resolution (RMC 10.28.295).
