Fort Collins has no blanket overnight ban on passenger cars, but RVs and trailers may sit in front of your own home for no more than 48 hours while loading or unloading. In unincorporated Larimer County, a vehicle left over 48 hours in the right-of-way can be deemed abandoned.
Fort Collins Traffic Code Section 1214 lets a recreational vehicle or trailer park directly in front of the registered owner's dwelling for up to 48 hours for loading and unloading; beyond that it must be removed from the right-of-way entirely, and relocating it on the street does not restart the period. Regular cars have no city-wide overnight prohibition unless signed. In unincorporated Larimer County, Colorado law treats a vehicle left unattended on public property outside city limits for 48 hours or longer as abandoned, allowing tagging and towing. Living or camping overnight in a vehicle on the street is separately restricted.
Vehicles left beyond 48 hours are cited and may be towed; unincorporated vehicles become abandoned motor vehicles subject to impound under state law.
