Beverly Hills RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The cited street ordinance does not decide private-driveway storage. Private yard and enclosed storage require separate zoning confirmation. |
| Street / loading | Trailers of any size, hitched or unhitched, prohibited on any City street or alley absent a specified permit or exception. No ordinary RV loading duration or automatic short-stop exception established. |
| Sleeping / utilities | A street permit or work exception does not authorize sleeping or dwelling use. No utility permission established. |
Trailers on streets and alleys
Effective September 11, 2026, trailers of any size may not park on a City street or alley, attached or detached, without a stated exception. The operative text applies in any area of the City despite a residential-zones heading. Trailer classification follows California Vehicle Code §630; do not automatically apply this provision to motorhomes.
Permits and work exceptions
The ordinance identifies City permits issued by the Public Works Director or Police Chief in connection with construction or other City-authorized permits, and City no-parking signs for moving vans/trucks. It excepts City work, emergency/government vehicles, active utility work, valid film/special-event permits, permitted construction and qualifying active maintenance/service work during business hours.
What this does not authorize
A general parking permit is not necessarily this ordinance’s permit. No ordinary RV loading clock is supplied, and an exception does not permit sleeping or hookups. Private driveways, yards, enclosed storage and self-propelled motorhomes need their separate governing rules. Confirm actual permit conditions before parking.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Beverly Hills Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Beverly Hills parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
