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

Subsection B sets the core rule: no trailer, boat, or motor vehicle may be kept, parked, or stored in the front yard, or in a corner lot's side yard facing a street, of residential property except on a driveway or driveway extension. Up to two recreational vehicles may occupy that front-yard setback at once, and an inoperable vehicle can take the place of one of those two slots only if it is screened by a fitted, manufactured vehicle cover kept in good repair and supported on inflated tires rather than blocks or jacks.

The area under and around any stored vehicle must stay free of litter, trash, vegetation, or other debris at all times. The section defines 'driveway' as a surface improved with concrete, asphalt, bricks, interlocking pavers, or similar impermeable material leading to a city-approved garage, carport, or parking area with an approved curb cut, and defines 'driveway extension' as the adjacent front-yard area between the driveway and the nearest side property line, improved for use like the driveway itself. 'Recreational vehicle' borrows the definition in California Health and Safety Code Section 18010(a) and is expanded here to also include truck campers, camping trailers, trailers, boats, personal watercraft, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and similar vehicles that can be propelled, moved, or drawn upon a highway.

No vehicle covered by the section may be parked or stored within 20 feet of the tangent point of two intersecting street right-of-way lines, or anywhere it blocks the view of vehicle or pedestrian traffic. A peace officer or salaried city employee may authorize removal of any vehicle found in violation of any part of the section.
