Yolo County, CA Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

Yolo County's Title 5, Chapter 1 (Abandoned, Wrecked, Dismantled, or Inoperative Vehicles) authorizes the Sheriff and designated County officers to abate vehicles left on public or private property. On state-maintained highways and county roads, the operative authority is California Vehicle Code section 22651(k), which allows a peace officer to remove a vehicle that has been 'parked or left standing upon a highway for 72 or more consecutive hours in violation of a local ordinance authorizing removal.' Cal. Veh. Code section 22507 also empowers Yolo County to 'by ordinance or resolution, prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles' on designated county roads, provided signs are posted. Vehicles that lack an engine, transmission, wheels, tires, doors, windshield, or other parts necessary for safe operation 'may be removed immediately upon discovery' under Cal. Veh. Code section 22669. Abatement, towing, and disposal proceed through the administrative hearing process in Yolo County Code Title 5, Chapter 1 (sections 5-1.05 through 5-1.10).
