Summary

Fresno County Zoning Ordinance Title 18 generally allows RV and boat storage on residential lots behind the front setback or in side/rear yards. Occupancy of an RV as a dwelling is prohibited except in permitted RV parks.

Full Breakdown

Title 18 residential zones permit RVs, trailers, and boats owned by the occupant to be stored on the parcel. Typically they must be located behind the front building line (not in the front setback) and not obstruct driveway sightlines. Living in an RV on private property is prohibited outside licensed RV parks or with a temporary permit (often granted for owners building a primary residence). On-street RV parking is limited by CVC §22651(k) to 72 hours.

Violations & Fines

Zoning violations: notice and abatement; fines $100-$500+ daily. Living in RV without permit: code enforcement action, health citations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I live in an RV on my own land while building?

Does my RV need to be screened from the street?

Title 18 doesn't require screening countywide but encourages placement behind the front building line; HOAs may impose stricter rules.
