Caldwell, ID Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Caldwell regulates recreational vehicle and trailer parking on public streets under City Code 09-07-13 (Improperly Parked Vehicles Generally; No Signs Required), part of Title 9, Article 7 Parking Regulations. The ordinance states that a camper, motor home, recreational vehicle, or trailer may not be parked on the street unless for the purpose of being loaded and unloaded, and in that case the vehicle may not remain parked for more than forty-eight (48) hours. This is a city-specific rule, not merely a restatement of Idaho law. Boats and boat trailers fall under the same trailer provisions when parked on a public roadway. Because the section requires no posted signs, enforcement applies citywide on public streets. A ticket may be issued to the registered owner of any vehicle parked in violation, and improperly parked vehicles may also be towed upon order of the police department or a city-authorized parking officer. Long-term RV storage is generally expected to occur off-street on private property. Within the Downtown Parking District, RV and trailer parking is further limited by the time-restricted and overnight rules in 09-07-12. Owners storing an RV or boat on a residential lot should also confirm zoning standards in Title 10.
