In unincorporated Butte County, recreational vehicles, travel trailers, and boats may be stored on a private residential parcel but cannot be occupied as a dwelling outside lawfully established RV parks. Standards live in Chapter 24 (Zoning), Article III, Division 5 (Recreational Vehicles and Camping) and the parking design rules in Division 9.
Chapter 24, Article III, Division 5 governs recreational vehicles and camping on private property in unincorporated Butte County. Camping outside lawfully established facilities is prohibited except with property owner permission, with sharp limits on continuous RV occupancy depending on connection to utilities. Temporary RV occupancy on the parcel of an owner-builder during active construction of a primary residence is allowed under permit. Section 24-95 (parking design standards, Article III Division 9) governs the surface, dimensions, and number of parking spaces, and §14-48 of the Motor Vehicles chapter regulates commercial vehicles on public residential streets. RV park development (commercial) is allowed in agricultural zones only on parcels 20 acres or larger.
