Auburn has no recreational-vehicle-specific street ordinance, so RVs, boats, and trailers fall under the general rule that no vehicle may sit on a public street or public way for more than 72 hours (Code Sec. 22-26). Larger utility trailers also trigger the oversized-vehicle limits. On private lots, required parking areas must be paved.
The City of Auburn's Code of Ordinances does not contain a standalone recreational-vehicle or boat parking section. Instead, an RV, camper, boat, or boat trailer left on a public street is governed by the general 72-hour rule: the City's Inspection Services division and Chapter 22 (Traffic) make it unlawful to leave any vehicle on any public street or other public way in the city for more than seventy-two (72) hours. A utility trailer or semi-trailer that is more than seven (7) feet wide or twenty-five (25) feet long is separately barred from public streets, alleys, and other public ways except while actively loading or unloading (not to exceed 24 hours). For storage on a residential lot, Auburn's Zoning Ordinance (Section 513) requires that off-street parking spaces, driveways, and maneuvering areas be improved with a suitable hard-surface permanent pavement, which limits parking RVs and boats on bare grass where a parking surface is required. Auburn's definition of a recreational vehicle (Zoning Ordinance) covers travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers, and motor homes. Because no city RV-specific time limit or fine is published, residents should treat the 72-hour street limit and the paved-surface requirement as the operative rules and confirm specifics with Inspection Services.
An RV, boat, or trailer left on a public street beyond 72 hours may be tagged and is subject to towing. Oversized utility trailers parked on the street outside the 24-hour loading window are also a violation. On private property, parking on a non-paved surface where an improved parking area is required can draw a zoning/property-maintenance notice.
