Fairfield, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

2 is Fairfield's dedicated street-storage ordinance for vehicles, boats, and recreational vehicles, most recently amended by Ordinance No. 2023-07. 5 feet in width, 22 feet in length including any attached trailer, or a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds. The core prohibitions: no vehicle, boat, or recreational vehicle may sit on any public right-of-way for more than 72 hours; no oversized vehicle or trailer may be left unconnected to a towing vehicle on a public right-of-way at any time; none of these may occupy a city-owned parking lot except while the owner conducts city business there during business hours; and none may sit within 30 feet of a street corner, where it would block sight lines, or accumulate junk, debris, or health hazards on or around it.

The code carves out a narrow visitor exception: a boat or recreational vehicle may park overnight on the public street immediately abutting a homeowner's, tenant's, or out-of-town visitor's residence for up to 72 consecutive hours, twice in any seven-day period. Oversized vehicles loading or unloading, utility company vehicles, and wheelchair-accessible vehicles are also exempted, as are commercial vehicles actively delivering to a business or working under another city department's permit.
