Summary
Inglewood bans parking any recreational vehicle or house car on a public street anywhere in the City under Municipal Code § 3-65.4, not just in residential zones. The only way to park one legally on-street is to display a valid temporary parking permit issued by the City; otherwise the vehicle is subject to citation and removal.
(a) It is unlawful for a person to park a recreational vehicle as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 18010, a house car as defined in Vehicle Code Section 362, or any other similarly equipped vehicle on any public street located in the City. (b) Exemption. Subsection (a) shall not apply to any vehicle which displays a valid temporary parking permit issued by the City.

Full Breakdown
Section 3-65.4, added by Ordinance 18-06 on May 8, 2018, makes it unlawful to park a recreational vehicle as defined in Health and Safety Code § 18010, a house car as defined in Vehicle Code § 362, or any other similarly equipped vehicle on any public street in Inglewood. Unlike the City's commercial-vehicle and oversized-vehicle rules, which are limited to residential districts, this RV restriction is citywide and applies to commercial and residential streets alike.
The only exemption is subsection (b): a vehicle displaying a valid temporary parking permit issued by the City is not subject to the ban. The Police Department administers the temporary permit program under the related § 3-65.5, subject to City Manager approval, and any permit fee is set by City Council resolution as part of the Master Fee Schedule.
This on-street ban does not reach RVs, trailers, or boats parked on private property, such as a driveway or side yard; those situations fall under the City's separate zoning and property-maintenance rules rather than this parking article. It sits alongside § 3-65.3, which separately bars parking or storing a boat, house trailer, camper trailer, or dismantled motor vehicle on any unimproved, unpaved, or vacant lot in the City, unless the vehicle is being used to perform an ongoing service on property in that block.
Violations & Fines
An RV or house car parked on any Inglewood street without a displayed temporary permit is subject to citation under the Parking Penalties schedule at § 3-81.2, plus any state-mandated surcharge and a DMV registration-hold fee if the plate carries a hold. A vehicle left in continued violation can be towed at the owner's expense, and unpaid citations block issuance of any future parking permit until the balance and any delinquency penalty are paid in full.
