Santa Clarita, CA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

100 provides that a person shall not park any trailer or semitrailer upon any highway, street, alley, public way or public place unless it is at all times, while so parked, attached to a vehicle capable of moving it in a normal manner. That covers a detached boat trailer or travel trailer left standing on a public street the same as a commercial semitrailer. The section carves out two exceptions: it does not apply to a trailer in the process of being loaded or unloaded, and it does not apply to a trailer disabled to such an extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving it in a spot ordinarily used for vehicular parking.

A third carve-out exempts the City's own speed-display trailer units (PARET) placed on public roadways by the City or the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The rule reaches only highways, streets, alleys, public ways and public places; it does not address storage of a trailer, RV or boat on private property such as a residential yard or driveway, which this section is silent on. 00 for a third or later conviction in that year. The section originates in Ordinance 89-12 (1989) and was amended by Ordinance 01-1 in January 2001 and Ordinance 04-11 in August 2004 to add the PARET exemption.
