Concord, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Concord Municipal Code Title 18 (Zoning) strictly regulates on-site storage of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and similar large vehicles in residential zones. RVs, campers, boats, and utility trailers may not be stored in a required front yard setback. Storage is permitted in the side or rear yard when screened from public view by a solid fence at least 6 feet high, or in a fully enclosed garage. Driveway parking of an RV or boat is generally allowed for loading/unloading up to 72 hours but not as continuous storage. On public streets, CVC 22507.5 and local ordinance restrict oversized vehicles (over 22 feet long or 7 feet high/wide) from overnight parking in residential zones between 2 AM and 6 AM without a permit. The City issues limited 72-hour guest/visitor permits through the Police Department for out-of-town visitors. RVs cannot be used as dwellings on private property; habitation in a parked RV violates CMC zoning and health codes. Violations are typically addressed through Code Enforcement with a warning, followed by citations and abatement.
