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

There is no Lassen County ordinance setting size, height or weight limits on where oversized vehicles - large RVs, fifth-wheels, buses, trailers or heavy trucks - may park on county roads, unlike the detailed oversized-vehicle bans adopted by many cities. On county-maintained roads the California Vehicle Code governs: CVC Section 22500 prohibits parking that obstructs traffic, blocks driveways, or sits on sidewalks and crosswalks, and CVC Section 22651(k) authorizes towing a vehicle left on a highway 72 or more consecutive hours where allowed. Local agencies may post weight or size restrictions under CVC Section 22507 on particular roads or bridges. The county's most direct regulation of large recreational vehicles is on private land: under the Camping on Private Property Outside Designated Campgrounds Combining District, any recreational vehicle used for camping must be licensed and maintained in a readily transportable configuration (able to move under its own power or be legally towed), and non-commercial camping beyond 300 days a year requires a use permit. Permanent placement of a large RV as a dwelling is therefore constrained by these zoning standards rather than by a street-parking rule.
