Mono County, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Mono County's General Plan (Land Development Regulations) Section 04.040 limits the temporary placement and occupancy of recreational vehicles on undeveloped property. RV placement and use during construction of a main building is permitted only for a short duration and may not exceed one year. A long-term temporary use of an RV – not to exceed six months of each year for a five-year period – may be permitted in designated avalanche zones subject to a Director Review permit. Temporary RV use for agricultural-related purposes on a parcel of 20 acres or larger is exempt from Director Review. The County code does not, in general, ban simply storing a registered, operable RV or boat trailer on your own lot. On public roads, no specific countywide RV ban was found; parking is governed by the California Vehicle Code. A registered, operable RV or boat trailer may stand on a county road, but cannot remain 72 or more consecutive hours (CVC §22651(k)) and cannot block driveways, hydrants, or traffic. Always confirm current zoning rules with Mono County Community Development before long-term RV occupancy.
