Marin County has no general ordinance banning recreational vehicles, trailers, or boats from parking on streets in unincorporated areas; the 72-hour street-parking limit and any signed restrictions are the primary controls.
No Marin County-specific ordinance directly addresses ongoing RV, trailer, or boat parking on residential streets in unincorporated areas. The general 72-hour limit under MCC 15.36.030 applies to all vehicles, including RVs and vehicles with attached trailers. On private property within the unincorporated county, RV and boat storage is governed by the zoning provisions of Title 22 (Development Code) for the applicable district rather than by a stand-alone county ordinance. California Vehicle Code section 22651(k) authorizes removal of any vehicle, including an RV, that remains on a public street for 72 or more consecutive hours. Specific roads may be posted under MCC 15.36.080 (no overnight parking of vehicles except automobiles, motorcycles, and pickups), which effectively restricts RVs and trailers on signed roads between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
RVs left more than 72 hours on a public street may be cited and towed under CVC 22651(k). On roads posted under MCC 15.36.080, an RV parked between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. is an infraction punishable by a $100 fine per overnight period (MCC 15.36.100).
