Full Breakdown
Hesperia Municipal Code § 16.20.090.G governs where residents keep RVs, trailers, and boats at home. Any recreational vehicle parking or storage area located in the front yard must be surfaced with concrete, asphalt, gravel, or crushed rock: bare dirt does not satisfy the code. Separately, an RV cannot be left in the public right-of-way indefinitely: the code defines 'stored' as parked in the right-of-way for more than 72 hours, after which it becomes a code violation regardless of the surface.
Violations & Fines
An RV parked on unsurfaced dirt in the front yard, or left in the street right-of-way beyond 72 hours, violates the standard and can draw a code enforcement notice.
