Longmont, CO Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Under LMC 11.12.030 and the city's RV/Sleeper Vehicle program, a 'sleeper vehicle' is defined as a camper coach, camper trailer, motor home, multi-purpose trailer, trailer coach, or recreational vehicle, and includes any vehicle converted to serve as temporary living or sleeping accommodation. Sleeper vehicles may not remain parked on Longmont public streets, alleys, or other public rights-of-way without an active parking permit issued under LMC 11.12.045. The only exception is active loading or unloading. When the city issues an abandoned-vehicle or sleeper-vehicle notice, the owner must either remove the vehicle entirely from the public way or obtain a temporary permit; relocating it within the same block does not satisfy the ordinance. Permits cost $25 for a 7-day window, are limited to four per vehicle per calendar year, and may not be issued back-to-back; once a permit expires, the sleeper vehicle may not be parked on the public way for the next seven days. Contractor trailers used during active repairs or alterations are governed separately and may remain on the street up to 180 days when a conspicuous dated notice with the job-site address and contact information is posted. On private property, the Longmont Municipal Code prohibits the use of a sleeper vehicle as an accessory dwelling unit on a residential zoned lot. Enforcement is largely complaint-driven; Code Enforcement (303-651-8695) and Longmont Police (303-651-8555) administer the program.
