Summary
Tuolumne County VHR permits require all guest vehicles to park on-site in defined spaces, prohibiting overflow onto narrow Twain Harte mountain roads, fire access lanes, and unpaved shoulders.
A peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Penal Code, or a regularly employed and salaried employee who is engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking laws and regulations of a city, county, or jurisdiction of a state agency in which a vehicle is located may remove a vehicle located within the territorial limits in which the officer or employee may act, under the following circumstances: (a) If a vehicle is left unattended upon a bridge, viaduct, or causeway or in a tube or tunnel where the vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic.
Full Breakdown
Permits set a maximum vehicle count tied to bedroom count, generally one vehicle per bedroom up to the parcel's striped capacity. Cal Fire requires fire-apparatus access roads be kept clear of parked vehicles to maintain the 20-foot unobstructed width. RVs and trailers connected to the rental are typically prohibited unless explicitly approved. Listings must disclose parking caps. Repeat violations during fire season carry heavier penalties because blocked roads can prevent evacuation or fire-engine access during a Stanislaus National Forest incident.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles blocking fire access, parked on the public right-of-way, or exceeding the permit's vehicle cap can be cited, towed at owner expense, and counted as VHR strikes.
