Summary

Tehama County has no blanket blocking-driveway or wrong-way parking ordinance; instead the board of supervisors bans on-street parking one designated road segment at a time under Chapter 11.12, such as the north and east side of Navion Road.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Tehama County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

No parking shall be allowed on the north and east side of Navion Road, County Road No. 792, beginning at 0.09 mile westerly and northerly of intersection of Ponderosa Way and Navion Road; thence northerly and westerly to end of Navion Road, a distance of 0.26 mile.

Full Breakdown

Rather than a general no-blocking-driveway or no-parking-against-traffic ordinance, Tehama County Code Chapter 11.12 bans on-street parking street-by-street: the board of supervisors adds a numbered section for each restricted road segment, such as § 11.12.010's ban on the north and east side of Navion Road (County Road No. 792) for a stretch of roughly a quarter mile near Ponderosa Way. Dozens of similar sections cover other county roads and the unincorporated communities of Los Molinos and Gerber. This chapter governs unincorporated Tehama County only, it does not reach streets inside Red Bluff, Corning, or the City of Tehama, each of which enforces its own municipal parking code.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a posted no-parking segment violates the ordinance; absent an infraction label, county code violations default to misdemeanors under § 1.04.042, though parking citations are typically written as infractions in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tehama County have a general rule against blocking driveways or parking against traffic?
No county ordinance covers that directly; those are handled by the California Vehicle Code statewide. Tehama County's own code only lists specific streets where on-street parking is banned.
Does Chapter 11.12 apply inside Red Bluff or Corning?
No. It governs unincorporated Tehama County only; Red Bluff, Corning, and the City of Tehama enforce their own municipal parking codes.
