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

Tustin's traffic chapter has no standalone citywide ordinance setting a maximum vehicle height or length for street parking. The most concrete oversized-vehicle rule is in the Preferential Permit Parking (PPP) Program. The City's Policies (v.03202023) state: 'Oversized vehicles, like RVs, vehicles with trailers, or large commercial and work trucks, are not eligible to receive parking permits through the PPP program because there are separate considerations related to roadway access with oversized vehicles. Residents with oversized vehicles are responsible for identifying alternate off-street storage locations, rather than relying on public street parking.' Because permitted streets prohibit parking 2 a.m.-6 a.m. except by permit, and oversized vehicles can't get a permit, they effectively can't stand overnight on those streets. Smaller work trucks under 6,000 lbs GVWR remain permit-eligible. State law backstops this: California Vehicle Code 22507.5 authorizes cities to prohibit or restrict overnight (2 a.m.-6 a.m.) parking and to restrict residential parking of commercial vehicles rated 10,000 lbs or more. Off the permit streets, an oversized but registered, operable vehicle is governed by the general 72-hour street-storage limit of Tustin City Code 5330(e).
