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

Under §10.28.292 RMC, parking a vehicle, trailer, or RV on a front lawn or any non-paved surface in a residential zone is a violation — the surface under the RV must be paved (concrete, asphalt, pavers). The city's official Vehicle Storage & Parking flyer pairs this with §9.26.030 RMC (abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicles may not be kept or stored on any premises in public view) and §18.58.020 RMC (no parking or storage of vehicles on vacant or undeveloped land). For street parking, Rialto enforces the statewide 72-hour rule from California Vehicle Code §22651(k): an RV, trailer, or boat parked on a city street for more than 72 continuous hours may be cited and towed. There is no Rialto code provision authorizing on-street overnight RV camping; an RV used as living quarters on a public street or any non-permitted lot is treated as a habitation/zoning violation. Boats and utility trailers follow the same paved-surface and 72-hour rules. Visibility, setback, and fence-height rules in Title 18 (Zoning) may further limit where in the front yard an RV can be screened — verify with Planning before building a screen wall taller than 3 feet in the front setback.
