Buena Park, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Buena Park adopted its RV and trailer street-parking ordinance, BPMC 10.24.040, with enforcement beginning September 21, 2007. The ordinance states that 'no person shall park and leave standing on any public street, any public or dedicated alley or any other public property a recreational vehicle, unattached trailer, unattached slide-in camper or oversized vehicle except as described herein.' A recreational vehicle includes camping trailers, motor homes, slide-in campers, and similar units; an oversized vehicle is any vehicle or combination of vehicles exceeding 22 feet in length or 84 inches in width, which captures most boats on trailers. The narrow exceptions both require a permit from the Buena Park Police Department. First, a resident may park in the street directly in front of their own home for up to two consecutive days (48 hours) for loading or unloading and travel preparation, after obtaining a loading/unloading log number; the number must be displayed prominently in the RV's front window. Second, a visitor may park in front of the home being visited (not in front of a neighbor's home) for up to seven consecutive days with a visitor's permit, and a household may receive a maximum of six visitor permits per year. There is no charge for either permit. Two-day log numbers can be obtained by phone; seven-day visitor permits require an in-person visit to the Police Department front counter. The ordinance does not override existing parking signs, curb markings, or street-sweeping restrictions.
