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

Imperial County does not have a dedicated oversized-vehicle ordinance in its parking chapter. On unincorporated county roads, an oversized vehicle is subject to the same general rules in Title 10, Chapter 10.24, Section 10.24.010 - it must be parked within 18 inches of the right-hand curb or road boundary and may not be left standing for 72 or more consecutive hours. California Vehicle Code Section 22507 supplies the framework a county would use to add stricter limits: it authorizes local authorities to prohibit or restrict parking of designated vehicle types, expressly including vehicles six feet or more in height (including any load) within 100 feet of an intersection, provided that adequate signs or markings are posted. Without such posted local restrictions, oversized vehicles are bound only by the general county rule and statewide prohibitions. Overweight or over-dimension travel on county roads is separately controlled through Public Works transportation permits, and any structure or long-term storage of a large vehicle on private property is a matter for the Title 9 Land Use Ordinance. Drivers should watch for posted height, weight or no-parking signs, which carry the force of the Vehicle Code where the county has marked them.
