Full Breakdown
Under Thousand Oaks Municipal Code Section 4-3.424, oversized vehicles require a parking permit to park on city streets — valid for a maximum of 5 consecutive calendar days, with extensions available. The permit must be placed on the lower driver's side windshield. For on-property storage, RVs may park in driveways for up to 30 days, in side yards with a 3-foot setback, and in backyards with a 20-foot setback. Displaying "for sale" signs on vehicles, boats, or campers parked on public streets is prohibited in posted zones (Sec. 4-3.419). Commercial vehicles over 12,000 lbs GVWR are prohibited in residential areas.
What Happens If You Violate This?
Vehicles exceeding permit duration may be cited and towed. Oversized vehicles without valid permits on public streets are subject to enforcement.
