Elk Grove Municipal Code Title 23 restricts RV, trailer, and boat storage in residential zones. Recreational vehicles generally cannot be stored in front yards; side/rear yard storage requires screening, and on-street parking of RVs is limited to 72 hours.
Elk Grove's Zoning Code (Title 23) treats recreational vehicles, boats, and utility trailers as regulated accessory uses in residential districts. RVs and trailers may not be stored in a required front yard setback and cannot block a sidewalk. Side- or rear-yard storage is typically permitted behind a legal fence or screening wall, with limits on how close the unit may be to property lines. Loading/unloading for a trip is allowed for a short period (commonly up to 72 hours) without counting as storage. On public streets, RVs and oversized vehicles are subject to the CVC §22651(k) 72-hour rule and any locally posted oversized-vehicle signage. Guests visiting in an RV may request a short-term courtesy permit in some residential areas; check with Elk Grove Code Enforcement for current rules.
