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

San Ramon regulates RV, boat, and trailer parking through both zoning code (Title D — Development Code) and traffic code. On public streets, oversized vehicles (over 22 feet long, over 7 feet high, or over 7 feet wide) are restricted under authority of CVC 22507.5, which allows local regulation of oversized vehicle parking. On-street RV parking is generally limited to active loading/unloading for 72 hours maximum, and continuous storage is prohibited. On private residential property, RVs, boats, campers, and utility trailers must be parked behind the front-yard setback line — typically in a side yard or rear yard. Front yard storage is prohibited except on the driveway for short-term purposes (loading before a trip, active use). Many HOAs in San Ramon (including Gale Ranch, Canyon Lakes, Windemere, Crow Canyon Country Club) impose stricter rules, often prohibiting any visible RV/boat storage on-lot and requiring off-site storage. Screening requirements may apply: fences or landscaping tall enough to conceal the stored vehicle from public view. RVs cannot be used as dwelling units on residential property, and connecting RVs to utilities for habitation is prohibited. Commercial vehicle storage is regulated separately. Violations typically result in a warning notice followed by citations and potential towing for on-street violations.
