Broomfield, CO Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 10-12-005(A) defines a major recreational vehicle as any vehicle or trailer with living quarters for temporary or permanent occupancy as a dwelling or sleeping place, including detachable non-motorized habitation units. Section 10-12-015(A) allows one on a public street only when parked adjacent to the owner's or responsible person's own property while being loaded, unloaded, or prepped or cleaned after a trip, for no more than seventy-two hours in any fourteen-day period, and only if it is not leaking fluids or connected to electric, water, or sewer utilities.

Moving the vehicle to another right-of-way spot to dodge that limit is separately banned under 10-12-015(B). The city manager can issue a visitor permit under 10-12-015(C) allowing up to seven days of otherwise-prohibited parking when a host property owner has given permission, capped at four such permits per vehicle in a twelve-month period, with temporary utility hookups allowed only for water or electric and cable protectors required over any sidewalk crossing. On private property, 10-12-020 requires major recreational and oversized vehicles to sit at least five feet from the flow-line of the public right-of-way and at least eighteen inches from any attached or detached sidewalk.

Section 10-12-060 separately bans using any such vehicle for living or sleeping on a street or right-of-way, and violations that leave the vehicle appearing inhabited trigger a Human Services resource notice before towing under 10-12-080.
