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

Santee Municipal Code § 10.10.245(B) sets a tighter, location-based rule for recreational vehicles and utility trailers, the category the code uses for boats and equipment towed behind a vehicle, separate from the general 72-hour street-storage rule for ordinary vehicles in subsection A. The owner or person in possession, custody, or control of an RV or utility trailer cannot leave it in the same location, defined as within 300 feet of where it was originally parked or last documented, for more than 72 consecutive hours. Once that clock runs out, the vehicle cannot return to that same 300-foot radius for at least another 72 consecutive hours, so simply moving it a short distance down the block does not reset the count.

To enforce the rule, the City documents a vehicle's position by marking the vehicle itself, photographing it, or using any other method it deems appropriate, creating a record code compliance staff can use to prove how long a trailer has sat in one place. The rule connects to § 10.10.275(B), which separately bars living in a parked travel trailer or RV in the City outside a campground and requires water, gas, electric, and sewer lines to stay disconnected except during a 48-hour maintenance window.
