Twin Falls, ID Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 9-6-8(C) of the Twin Falls City Code, enacted by the Twin Falls City Council, puts a twenty-four (24) hour ceiling on three kinds of vehicles left on a public street: unused vehicles, inoperative vehicles, abandoned vehicles, and recreational vehicles. The clock runs on any street, so a motorhome, camper or similar recreational vehicle that has sat in one spot on a city street for more than twenty-four (24) hours is in violation. The paragraph was added to the section by Ordinance 2019-011 (October 14, 2019) and amended by Ordinance O-2025-008 (April 21, 2025).

The rule is a street rule. It governs parking on streets under Title 9, Chapter 6, and it does not set standards for storing an RV on private property, a driveway or a side yard. The zoning title of the published city code is only a reserved placeholder, so any residential-district storage limits are not part of the text read for this page.

Trailers, which include boat trailers and camping trailers, face a stricter test in the neighboring paragraph. Section 9-6-8(A)(3) bars parking any trailer on a street or alley with no twenty-four (24) hour grace period, subject to the Manufacturing District, loading and unloading, and permitted-construction exceptions in paragraph (B). An RV owner who needs to stage a vehicle for loading therefore has paragraph (B)(2) for the actual loading or unloading of passengers or property, but a vehicle left at the curb beyond that is measured against the twenty-four (24) hour limit.

The Twin Falls Police Department and any person designated by the city enforce the chapter by leaving a ticket on the vehicle showing the ticket number, date, time, license number, location, make and the name of the officer or designated person.
