Antioch, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Under Antioch Municipal Code Title 9 (Planning and Zoning) and the citywide property maintenance standards, recreational vehicles (motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, tent trailers), boats, utility trailers, and other oversized or commercial vehicles cannot be parked or stored in the required front yard setback of a residential property. Storage in the driveway forward of the front building line is generally permitted only for short periods for active loading, unloading, and cleaning (typically up to 72 hours), consistent with California Vehicle Code 22507.5 local implementation. Long-term storage must occur in the rear yard or in a side yard behind a solid fence at least 6 feet tall that screens the vehicle from the street and adjacent properties. The RV or boat must be owned or under lawful custody of a resident, must display current registration, and cannot be used for habitation on the property (occupied living is prohibited under AMC land use). On public streets, CVC 22507.5 as implemented locally restricts RVs from overnight parking (typically 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.) in residential districts, with loading/unloading allowances of 72 hours. Enforcement is complaint-driven through Antioch Code Enforcement, with written notice and correction periods before citation. Violations may result in administrative citations under AMC Chapter 1-3 with fines escalating for repeat offenses. HOA-governed communities in Antioch (such as portions of Lone Tree, Mira Vista, and Deer Valley developments) may have more restrictive CC&R provisions that ban any on-lot RV storage entirely.
