Unincorporated Colusa County has no blanket residential-street ban on RVs or boats, but any vehicle left on a street over 120 consecutive hours is prohibited, large truck-trailers are barred from signed streets, and the zoning code bars storing trailers, boats, or campers in required parking spaces.
Colusa County does not impose a special countywide RV/boat street-parking rule, but several provisions control. County Code Section 12A-32 prohibits anyone who owns or controls a vehicle from leaving it standing on any street for a consecutive period of more than 120 hours. Section 12A-34 prohibits parking any truck, truck-tractor, trailer, semitrailer, or combination unit with a capacity exceeding 12,000 pounds (six tons) gross vehicle weight on any street signed 'no parking' by resolution of the board of supervisors; the road commissioner posts the affected streets. On private property, the Zoning Code (Section 44-3.20) requires that parking spaces serving a use be used exclusively for the temporary parking of vehicles and 'not be used for the sale, lease, display, repair, or storage of vehicles, trailers, boats, campers, mobile homes, merchandise, or equipment.' Statewide, California Vehicle Code Section 22507.5 authorizes local rules on oversized recreational vehicles and trailers, and Section 22651 governs removal. There is no county ordinance setting a special 'RV in driveway' limit beyond these provisions.
Parking violations are enforced by the Colusa County Sheriff's Department and CHP via notice of violation under California Vehicle Code Section 40202 (Section 12A-38). Civil penalties are set by board-of-supervisors resolution (Section 12A-39). In an emergency the offending vehicle may be towed and impounded. Vehicles over the 120-hour limit may be removed.
