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

Milpitas does not adopt a dedicated street ban on recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers. Instead, these vehicles fall under the general parking rules in Chapter 100, Title V of the Milpitas Municipal Code. The controlling limit is Section V-100-10.03, which prohibits parking any vehicle on a street or alley for more than 72 consecutive hours; an RV, boat trailer, or utility trailer left longer may be cited and removed under the California Vehicle Code. Section V-100-10.04 separately bars parking any vehicle on a roadway principally to display it for sale or to wash, grease, or repair it (except emergency repairs). Importantly, Section V-100-12.07-5 states that the weight-limit street prohibitions do not apply to 'non-commercial recreational vehicles or trailers, including boat and utility trailers' that have direct ingress and egress to a restricted street for the purpose of parking, loading, or unloading. This means a homeowner may bring an RV onto a posted weight-restricted residential street to park or load it without violating the truck-weight rule. Vehicles six feet or taller are also subject to the intersection-visibility restriction in Section V-100-12.15. Always check for posted signs, height limits, and street-sweeping schedules on your block.
