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

Beaumont Municipal Code § 10.10.010 defines a recreational vehicle broadly: a trailer of any length, width or weight, including boat trailers, camp trailers, trailer coaches, fifth wheel trailers, horse trailers, personal watercraft, and off-road and all-terrain vehicle trailers, whether or not attached to the tow vehicle, plus any motor home, including converted trucks or buses. A utility trailer is one used to transport goods, equipment, tools, vehicles, yard waste, refuse or rubbish. Stored means continuously parked in the same location for more than 72 hours.

Section 10.10.020 prohibits parking any recreational vehicle in or on any public right-of-way, including a street, sidewalk or alleyway, and prohibits a utility trailer in the right-of-way or in the front yard setback unless on an approved all weather surface. Section 10.10.040 sets storage conditions: the vehicle or trailer can be stored only on property owned by its owner or where the registered owner resides; it must carry current registration if state law requires; and no part of it can be stored in, on or overhanging a public right-of-way.

Section 10.10.030 carves out short street stays. A motor home or trailer attached to a tow vehicle can park on a street or alley for loading, unloading, servicing or visiting adjacent property for up to 72 hours. Unattached units get two hours for any purpose, and an unattached trailer can be towed 24 hours after a first violation at the Enforcement Officer's discretion. A Police Department permit allows an unattached recreational or utility trailer up to 72 hours on a street, and the permit has to be prominently displayed on the trailer. Section 10.10.025 adds a limit for commercial, retail and shopping center lots: no more than 12 hours in any seven-consecutive-day period when the lot is posted at each entrance, unless the Chief of Police issues a permit, and only one permit is issued in any seven-day period.
