Pomona RV & Boat Parking Rules (2026): What You Need to Know

Pomona Municipal Code Article X and the city's zoning code work together to regulate recreational vehicle and boat parking both on public streets and on private residential property. On public streets, RVs, boats, trailers, and campers are subject to the same 72-hour consecutive parking limit that applies to all vehicles. However, oversized recreational vehicles — those exceeding 7 feet in height or 22 feet in length — are further restricted from parking on residential streets for extended periods and may be cited more quickly if a complaint is filed. Habitation of any RV, camper, or trailer parked on a public street is prohibited at all times.

For on-property storage, Pomona's zoning code permits one recreational vehicle or boat per residential lot, provided it is stored in a side yard or rear yard and screened from public view by a fence or wall at least 6 feet in height. The RV or boat must be currently registered and in operable condition — inoperable or unregistered vehicles are classified as junk vehicles subject to abatement. Front-yard and driveway storage of RVs and boats is restricted: vehicles may be temporarily parked in a driveway for loading, unloading, or maintenance for a limited period, but permanent or long-term front-yard storage is not permitted if it obstructs the sidewalk, encroaches into the public right-of-way, or creates a visibility hazard at intersections.

Enforcement is handled by Pomona Code Enforcement at (909) 620-2171 for property-related zoning violations and by Pomona Police for street parking violations. Given Pomona's proximity to the LA County Fairplex — which hosts large events throughout the year — the city actively enforces restrictions on event attendees attempting to park RVs on residential streets in surrounding neighborhoods.
