Shasta County, CA Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Shasta County's code does not contain a height-, length-, or weight-based street parking restriction targeting oversized vehicles in residential neighborhoods. Under California Vehicle Code Section 22507, a county may, by ordinance or resolution, prohibit or restrict parking of vehicles - including large commercial or oversized vehicles - on specified roads or within 100 feet of an intersection, but the restriction takes effect only after signs or markings giving adequate notice are posted. On unsigned county roads, an oversized vehicle is governed by the general Vehicle Code, including the prohibited-location list in CVC Section 22500 (no parking on sidewalks, crosswalks, in front of driveways, etc.). The county does not require a permit to keep a personal motorhome or large trailer on a county road for ordinary periods. The main enforcement lever is the abandoned-vehicle chapter: under Code Section 10.04.020, any vehicle - including an oversized one - left standing on a highway for 120 or more consecutive hours becomes an 'abandoned vehicle' subject to Sheriff abatement under Chapter 10.04. On private property, zoning Section 17.86.070 keeps required residential parking out of front and street-side yards.
