Weld County, CO Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 6-1-30(A) of the Weld County Code amends Section 1204 of the state Model Traffic Code, which the county adopted for its unincorporated roads, to add subsections (9) and (10) targeting oversized vehicles. The county finds that unregulated parking of these vehicles in residence districts 'creates a public safety hazard and a public nuisance' because it diminishes on-street parking, blocks sight visibility, and limits emergency vehicle access, so no person may park an oversized vehicle on any county-maintained public street or highway within a residence district except while actively loading or unloading.

An 'oversized vehicle' is defined precisely: any vehicle exceeding 30 feet in length, or 7 feet in width, or 7 feet in height, which reaches most Class A and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and boats or livestock trailers on a full-size trailer. A 'residence district' is the county's own definition, not a zoning designation: any street frontage where dwellings occupy 300 feet or more of frontage, including subdivisions and unincorporated townsites. The restriction applies only to the county-maintained street or right-of-way itself; it does not reach a vehicle parked on the owner's own driveway or yard, which is a matter of the county's separate zoning and outdoor-storage rules.

Violations are prosecuted as Weld County Traffic Infractions under the county's Model Traffic Code procedures in Section 6-1-40, enforced by the Weld County Sheriff's Office through a summons or a penalty-assessment notice left on the vehicle.
