Sedona City Code §9.10.010 makes it unlawful to camp, sleep, or maintain a temporary place of rest in any vehicle, tent, or structure on public property within city limits — a key rule for visitors trying to overnight in vans or RVs.
The prohibition covers public buildings, alleys, sidewalks, public ways, federal/state/county/city trail heads, and any property owned, operated, or managed by a government agency. Private property is also covered unless exempted. A vehicle, camper, or RV may park for less than 24 hours with the consent of the property owner; beyond 24 hours is prima facie evidence of camping. A warning is required before arrest unless the property is conspicuously posted with notice.
Class 1 misdemeanor per §9.10.010, punishable by up to a $2,500 fine or six months in jail, or both.
