RVs and large vehicles face expanded parking restrictions under Denver's 2023 ordinance update. 2-hour or 24-hour limits in residential areas; must move 700 feet. Living in vehicles on public streets prohibited.
Denver's 2023 parking ordinance update expanded restrictions on large vehicles including RVs, trailers, campers, truck-tractors, and semi-trailers. These vehicles face 2-hour or 24-hour parking limits in residential areas (previously only some areas restricted). Must move 700 feet to be considered re-parked. RVs parked beyond time limits subject to 24-hour tow notice. Long-term habitation in vehicles on public streets is prohibited outside of permitted RV parks. The city also operates a Safe Parking Initiative for transitional situations.
Tickets for RV parking violations $25–$75. Repeated violations can result in towing.
