Ordinary cars may park on public streets, but Fort Collins prohibits parking large or oversized vehicles on any street, alley or right-of-way. Unincorporated Larimer County has no metered on-street program; rural road rights-of-way are not for storage.
Fort Collins Traffic Code Section 1214 makes it unlawful to park a vehicle over 6,000 pounds empty weight, over 20 feet long, or any RV, trailer, semi-trailer or truck tractor on public property including any street, alley, highway or right-of-way. Standard passenger cars may park at the curb where not otherwise signed or restricted. In unincorporated Larimer County, the county regulates off-street parking design on developed lots through the Land Use Code but does not run a residential on-street parking scheme; parking or storing vehicles in the public road right-of-way is not permitted, and abandonment rules apply after 48 hours.
Fort Collins citation and tow for oversized street parking; unincorporated right-of-way vehicles may be tagged and towed as abandoned after 48 hours.
