El Dorado County's Title 130 Zoning Ordinance regulates off-street parking and recreational-vehicle uses through Chapter 130.35 (Parking and Loading) and the Temporary Housing Option Recreational Vehicle provisions added by Ordinance No. 5136, which allow one temporary RV on lots of one acre or larger under a permit; on-street parking of RVs in the Tahoe Basin is subject to Sections 10.12.180 and 10.12.184 winter restrictions.
El Dorado County does not maintain a separate countywide on-street RV/boat storage cap of the type adopted by some neighboring counties. Two regulatory pathways apply: (1) the Zoning Ordinance (Title 130) Chapter 130.35 establishes off-street parking, loading, and required-space standards for residential and commercial uses, with the Parking and Loading Standards adopted December 15, 2015 governing dimensions and surfacing; (2) Ordinance No. 5136 amended Title 130 to add a Temporary Housing Option Recreational Vehicle provision allowing one temporary RV to be occupied on a parcel of one acre or larger as a temporary housing option subject to a permit. Permanent residential occupation of an RV outside an approved RV park or mobile home park is not authorized. In the Lake Tahoe Basin and high-elevation unincorporated areas, parking an RV on a County road, highway, or right-of-way is prohibited whenever a snow removal condition has been declared (Sections 10.12.180 and 10.12.184). On-property storage of inoperative or unregistered RVs and boats may be enforced as a public nuisance through the Sheriff's vehicle abatement program (CVC Section 22710) and Code Enforcement Division.
Improperly stored RVs are enforced by the El Dorado County Code Enforcement Division as zoning violations. Storage of wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative RVs and boats triggers vehicle abatement procedures administered by the Sheriff's Office under the state-funded Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Service Authority (CVC Section 22710). Occupying an RV as a permanent residence outside an approved RV park or without a Temporary Housing Option permit is a zoning violation subject to citation and abatement.
