Bellflower bans parking recreational vehicles or recreational trailers (including boat trailers) on any street from midnight to 6:00 a.m. without a city permit. Permits cost $5, last one to three days, and are capped at six days per month and 50 days per year.
Bellflower Municipal Code (BMC) 10.12.070 makes it unlawful to park a recreational vehicle or recreational trailer on a street between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit. The code defines a recreational vehicle broadly to include motor homes, truck campers and similar vehicles designed for human habitation, and a recreational trailer as a non-motorized vehicle up to 28 feet long that is enclosed for temporary habitation or used to transport boats, equines or recreational vehicles. A boat on its trailer therefore falls under these overnight rules. The city Parking Division issues overnight RV/trailer permits costing $5 for one to three days, with residents limited to a maximum of six days per month and 50 days per year. When parked overnight under a permit, the RV or trailer must remain within 300 feet of the permittee's address and must still comply with street-sweeping and all other parking regulations. Permits must be displayed in the windshield of an RV or on the rear of a trailer. Daytime street parking is otherwise allowed unless another rule (such as the 72-hour limit, street sweeping or front-yard ban) applies. Enforcement is handled by the city Parking Division and contracted Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The violation fine for RV/recreational-trailer parking from midnight to 6 a.m. is $82.
Parking an RV, camper or boat trailer on a street between midnight and 6 a.m. without a valid permit is cited under BMC 10.12.070(C) with an $82 fine. Exceeding the six-day-per-month or 50-day-per-year permit caps, parking more than 300 feet from the permittee's address, or failing to display the permit also constitutes a violation.
