Buena Park, CA Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Buena Park's oversized-vehicle rule is part of the same ordinance that governs RVs and trailers, BPMC 10.24.040, in effect since September 21, 2007. The ordinance defines an oversized vehicle as any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds 22 feet in length or 84 inches in width. That definition is broad enough to cover large pickups with trailers, box trucks, motorhomes, and boats on trailers. The core prohibition is that no person shall park and leave standing on any public street, public or dedicated alley, or other public property a recreational vehicle, unattached trailer, slide-in camper, or oversized vehicle, except under the limited permit exceptions. A resident may park in front of their own home for up to two consecutive days (48 hours) for loading and unloading after obtaining a free log number from the Police Department, with that log number displayed in the vehicle's front window. A visitor may park for up to seven consecutive days with a visitor's permit, parked adjacent to the home being visited, capped at six visitor permits per household per year. The ordinance does not override other parking signs, curb markings, or street-sweeping limits, so even a permitted oversized vehicle must still comply with posted restrictions. On private property, oversized commercial vehicles over three tons unladen are further restricted by the Zoning Code's residential standards, and large trucks must travel on designated truck routes.
