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

Under the City of Redlands zoning code (RMC 18.164.130, Limitations and Prohibited Parking), all detached truck campers, trailers of any type (camping, travel and utility trailers), mobilehomes, boats or other watercraft, and similar equipment incapable of movement under its own power must be parked in an approved parking space or stored in an area screened from the street. No parking or storing is permitted in a driveway or front yard area. A limited exception allows a resident of a residential-zoned parcel to park a detached camper, trailer, or watercraft in a designated front-yard driveway or other city-approved hard-surfaced front-yard area only after obtaining a minor exception permit. A legally parked motor home and/or one commercially licensed vehicle with a load capacity of one ton or less, owned by the resident occupant, is exempt from these restrictions, but no part may overhang into the public right-of-way. On the street, the city's Traffic Safety Unit advises that RVs and boats may park in regular vehicle locations on a permanent paved surface, but they remain subject to the same 72-hour consecutive parking limit as any other vehicle, must be licensed and operable, and may not block any driveway or sidewalk. Boats must be stored on an operable, registered trailer and be covered.
