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

030A regulates trailers, boats, campers and similar non-self-propelled vehicles under its own numbered standard: a maximum of two such vehicles may be kept outside a legal structure on a lot, and only one may occupy a required parking space inside a structure. Mobilehomes, other than travel trailers, are not permitted anywhere in the City's residential zones except inside a licensed mobilehome park or as otherwise allowed by state law. No vehicle may be used for living or sleeping quarters in a residential zone, with one narrow exception: a bona fide guest of a City resident may use a trailer, camper or recreational vehicle located on the resident's property for a period not to exceed 72 hours.

Where an RV, trailer or boat is parked in the front yard, street-side setback, or within 12 feet of a right-of-way in a rear yard, it also falls under the general residential vehicle limits: up to four vehicles on lots zoned for 10,000 square feet or smaller, six on larger residential lots, all parked on an impervious or approved semi-pervious surface, currently registered or carrying a DMV planned non-operation permit, and never overhanging the public right-of-way.
