In unincorporated Solano County, RVs and boats are treated as accessory residential storage under Chapter 28 (Zoning Regulations). The Solano County Code does not authorize occupancy of a recreational vehicle as a dwelling on a private residential lot, and storage of inoperable RVs or boats falls under Chapter 6.5 abandoned-vehicle rules.
Solano County regulates residential parking and storage through Chapter 28 of the County Code. Outside an approved RV park or campground, a recreational vehicle parked on private property in unincorporated Solano County is permitted only as accessory storage; the County does not authorize using an RV as a permanent or temporary dwelling on a residential lot. RVs and boats stored on a property are still subject to Chapter 6.5 (Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled or Inoperative Vehicles), which prohibits leaving any inoperable vehicle visible from public or private property for more than ten days unless completely enclosed within a building. Properties within agricultural districts may store ranch equipment and farm-related vehicles in connection with the operation of a lawful agricultural pursuit. Cities within Solano County (Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville, Suisun City, Benicia, Dixon, Rio Vista) each maintain their own RV and boat parking rules that supersede county standards inside city limits.
Storing an inoperable or unregistered RV or boat visible from any street or neighboring property for more than ten days is a misdemeanor under Solano County Code §6.5-2. The Director of Environmental Management or designee may issue a 15-day notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle as a public nuisance, with costs of removal recoverable as a lien against the property.
