Solano County, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Solano County's Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 28) does not contain a dedicated residential RV, boat, or trailer storage standard the way many cities do. The only references to recreational vehicles in the unincorporated land-use regulations are narrow: Section 28.72.20 allows a recreational vehicle, manufactured home, or commercial coach to be used on a temporary basis as security quarters during construction of a permitted use (only one such vehicle, connected to power via an RV pad that must be removed when construction is complete), and Section 28.95 governs commercial automobile, mobilehome, recreational-vehicle, and boat sales and storage lots, which must be screened by a solid fence or wall at least eight feet high. Because much of unincorporated Solano County is zoned for agriculture and rural residential use on large parcels, the County has not adopted front-yard or setback storage prohibitions for personal RVs and boats. Owners must still keep any vehicle operable and registered to avoid the abandoned/inoperative vehicle rules in Chapter 6.5 (a 10-day limit on inoperative vehicles outside an enclosed building). Owners inside a homeowners association may face private CC&R restrictions the County does not enforce. Always confirm parcel-specific zoning with Planning Services before relying on this.
