Fair Oaks is unincorporated Sacramento County, so RV and boat parking is regulated by the County Code (Title 10 Vehicles & Traffic) and the Fair Oaks Village Special Planning Area. Operational, currently-registered RVs may be parked or stored on residential property; living in an RV is not allowed. Street parking is capped at 72 consecutive hours. The Fair Oaks Village SPA requires screened RV/boat storage facilities in its residential portions.
Sacramento County Code Title 10 governs vehicle parking in unincorporated areas, including Fair Oaks. County rules permit storing an RV, motorhome, or boat on a residential parcel provided the vehicle is operational and currently registered. Occupying an RV as a dwelling on residential property is prohibited. On public streets, any vehicle — including trailer-type RVs that must remain attached to a tow vehicle — may not remain in the same location for more than 72 consecutive hours. Within the Fair Oaks Village Special Planning Area (SPA 502-010), the residential portions require dedicated facilities for parking RVs, motorhomes, and boats with screening from public view. Code Enforcement handles complaints.
Vehicles parked over 72 hours on the street can be cited and towed. Living in an RV or unscreened storage in the Fair Oaks Village SPA can trigger a notice of violation, daily fines, and abatement orders from Sacramento County Code Enforcement.
