Butte County does not impose comprehensive on-street parking time limits in unincorporated areas, but recreational vehicles and boats cannot be parked in any public or private right-of-way for longer than nine days, and California Vehicle Code Section 22651 authorizes removal of vehicles obstructing traffic, blocking driveways or hydrants, or with expired registration.
Butte County Code Section 24-74(E) (Article 15, Recreational Vehicles and Camping) prohibits parking recreational vehicles or boats within a public or private right-of-way for longer than nine days. For ordinary passenger vehicles in unincorporated areas, the County relies primarily on California Vehicle Code (CVC) Sections 22651 (removal of vehicles obstructing traffic, blocking driveways/hydrants, or parked with expired registration over six months) and 22669 (removal of vehicles with reasonable grounds to believe abandonment). Vehicles abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative on private or public property (including highways) are addressed under Butte County Code Chapter 14, Article XII, which declares such accumulations a public nuisance subject to abatement by the multi-jurisdictional Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Service Authority established under CVC Section 22710. Subdivision streets and county-maintained roads are regulated by Chapter 10 (Highways and Streets); encroachment permits are administered by the Department of Public Works.
Vehicles parked in violation of CVC Section 22651 may be removed and impounded by a peace officer or parking enforcement employee. Abandoned vehicle cases (Code Case Type AVA) result in nuisance abatement under Chapter 14, Article XII, with tow and lien costs charged to the registered owner. Recreational vehicles or boats left in a right-of-way beyond nine days are subject to citation under Section 24-74(E).
