Maricopa County Ordinance P-5 (Residential Parking Ordinance) prohibits parking vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVW, tractors, trailers, buses, and recreational vehicles on local or collector streets in posted residential areas except during loading/unloading. The ordinance applies only in areas that have petitioned for and received Board of Supervisors approval for posting.
Ordinance P-5 is not a blanket county-wide ban but an opt-in system. Residents in an area must petition MCDOT, and the Board of Supervisors must approve posting of no-parking signs. Once posted, the Sheriff's Office enforces restrictions. On private property in unincorporated areas, RV and boat storage is generally permitted subject to zoning district standards.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Maricopa County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
