San Jacinto, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

San Jacinto Municipal Code § 17.330.040 governs RV, trailer and boat parking on residentially zoned parcels in the City of San Jacinto, Riverside County, California. The parking or storage of recreational vehicles, defined by example as boats, motor homes, travel trailers, campers and camper shells, is strictly prohibited in required parking areas or within the required front yard. Utility trailers and tractors are on the same prohibited list, subject to the exceptions in subsection C.

The driveway exception is timed. An RV can be temporarily parked in the driveway for up to a total of 72 hours within any consecutive 120-hour period for loading and unloading and for light maintenance and repair. Three conditions apply: the RV cannot extend into the public right-of-way at any time, cannot block any sidewalk or walkway, and cannot be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping purposes. When the 72 hours expire, the RV must go to a location at least 300 feet from where it was last parked, or to approved storage on the lot.

On-site storage on a residential lot is limited to one side yard next to the garage and driveway, extending to the rear lot line. On corner lots, storage is allowed only in the interior side yard extending to the rear lot line, and the Director can approve rear-yard storage on corner lots only where interior side yard storage is not feasible, street side access has an encroachment permit, the traffic visibility standards are met, paving limits are met and neighboring views are not adversely impacted. Motorized RVs must sit on an improved surface of concrete or other material the Director approves.

On the street, § 10.16.240 allows recreational vehicles to park in a residential district for not more than 72 hours, or in a commercial district for not more than 120 hours, and strictly prohibits habitation of recreational vehicles.
