RVs and recreational vehicles stored on residential properties in unincorporated areas must comply with Development Code accessory use standards. Street storage of vehicles is prohibited under §52.0119. Desert properties with larger lots have more flexibility.
San Bernardino County Development Code and County Code §52.0119 regulate RV parking in unincorporated areas. RVs may not be stored on public streets. On residential properties, RVs are treated as accessory storage and must comply with setback requirements and screening provisions under §83.02.060 (Screening and Buffering). Exterior storage must be screened and kept below fence height. The practical impact varies significantly by area — desert properties on 2.5+ acre lots in RL (Rural Living) zones have considerably more flexibility than valley communities on smaller lots. Mountain communities may have additional fire clearance considerations for RV storage near structures. Code Enforcement handles complaints for unincorporated areas.
RV on street: citation under §52.0119. Improperly screened RV: Code Enforcement citation. Setback violations: citation.
