Lincoln regulates how RVs, boats and trailers are stored on residential lots under Lincoln Municipal Code section 18.36.030. The city's Code Enforcement Division handles improperly stored recreational vehicles, boats and trailers when they are kept on private property, while the Lincoln Police Department handles vehicles parked on the street (916-645-4040).
The City of Lincoln Code Enforcement Division identifies 'Improperly stored RVs, boats, and trailers NOT on the roadway' as a Lincoln Municipal Code violation under LMC 18.36.030, which is contained in the zoning title (Title 18). Storage on private residential property is enforced by Code Enforcement at 916-434-2477, and complaints may be filed anonymously through the city's online Code Enforcement Request Form. Recreational vehicles, boats and trailers parked or stored on a public street are not handled by Code Enforcement — they fall to the Lincoln Police Department, which enforces the on-street rules of Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) together with the California Vehicle Code. Under California Vehicle Code §22651(k), any vehicle left on a public highway for 72 or more consecutive hours may be removed when a local ordinance authorizes it, and Lincoln's Title 10 incorporates that 72-hour standard for street parking. Owners who need long-term storage of an RV, boat or utility trailer should plan for a screened side/rear-yard location consistent with the LMC 18.36.030 accessory-storage standards and the underlying zoning district setbacks.
Improper storage of an RV, boat or trailer on private property is a Lincoln Municipal Code violation under LMC 18.36.030 and is handled administratively by the Code Enforcement Division (916-434-2477). Code enforcement typically opens with a written notice and a compliance deadline; continuing violations can escalate to administrative citations and, ultimately, abatement at the owner's expense. RVs, boats or trailers left on the street beyond the time limits are towed by Lincoln Police under California Vehicle Code §22651(k) (72-hour rule) and the towing/storage charges become the responsibility of the registered owner.
