Fullerton restricts the parking and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on residential properties under Municipal Code Chapter 15.50 (Zoning). RVs and boats generally may not be parked or stored in front yard areas and must meet screening and setback requirements when stored in side or rear yards.
Fullerton Municipal Code regulates the parking and storage of recreational vehicles (RVs), boats, trailers, and similar large vehicles on residential properties. In residential zones, RVs, boats, campers, and trailers may not be parked or stored in the required front yard setback area or on any unpaved surface visible from the street. Storage in side yards and rear yards is permitted provided the vehicle meets setback requirements and does not block required access or emergency egress. RVs, boats, and trailers stored on residential property must not be used for habitation or occupied as living quarters. Vehicles must be currently registered and in operable condition. On-street parking of RVs, boats, and trailers is subject to Fullerton's 72-hour parking limitation under Municipal Code Chapter 11.44 and may be further restricted in permit parking zones. Oversized vehicles exceeding posted size or weight limits may be prohibited from parking on certain residential streets. The city may enforce removal of vehicles that violate parking restrictions through citations and eventual towing. Screening or enclosure may be required for side-yard storage to reduce visual impact on neighbors.
Violations are enforced by Fullerton Code Enforcement at (714) 738-6856 and Police parking enforcement. RVs parked on the street for more than 72 hours may be cited and towed. Property storage violations can result in code enforcement action with fines.
