Lompoc, CA Parking Rules: Oversized Vehicle Parking (2026)

Unincorporated Santa Barbara County does not impose a blanket ban on oversized recreational vehicles or trailers on every road; instead, it uses targeted restrictions. California Vehicle Code Section 22507 authorizes the County, by ordinance or resolution, to restrict the parking of vehicles six feet or more in height (including any load) within 100 feet of an intersection, and more generally to restrict parking of specified vehicle types, but such restrictions apply only where signs or markings give adequate notice. Santa Barbara County Code Section 23-304 separately limits parking of buses, trucks, tractors, and similar large vehicles in residential districts to two hours unless a permit is issued. Independently, Chapter 23, Article III limits any vehicle to 72 consecutive hours on a county road (Sec. 23-303), enforceable by removal under California Vehicle Code 22651(k). In County off-street lots, Ordinance 5163 (Sec. 12A-23) bars storing detached trailers, fifth wheels, and equipment and prohibits occupying more than one stall. For oversized vehicles in motion, statewide size-and-weight limits and any County truck-route designations apply. On private property, where an oversized vehicle may be parked or stored is governed by the County's Land Use and Development Code and Coastal Zoning Ordinance, so the rules depend on the property's zone district.
