Can I keep an RV in my Hemet driveway?
The City handout allows currently registered vehicles, including nonmotorized ones, measuring 22 feet or less in the front setback on a paved driveway or paved area adjacent to it. No part may overhang the sidewalk or street right-of-way.
Where do vehicles longer than 22 feet go?
The handout directs vehicles over 22 feet through 40 feet to side or rear setback areas, screened by a solid fence six feet high. Those areas need not be paved, but must be kept clear of weeds, junk, trash and debris. Vehicles over 40 feet and other unusual setups need a direct City determination.
How long can an RV stay on the street?
The handout gives motorhomes and RVs a maximum of 72 hours. A trailer must remain attached to a towing vehicle and also stay within 72 hours. An unattached trailer cannot be left on the street for any length of time. Other parking restrictions still apply.
Does the 72-hour rule override signs or obstructions?
No. Keep driveways, mailboxes, trash carts and fire hydrants accessible and follow all other parking controls. This guide does not establish a move-and-return rule or guarantee that every location allows the full period.
Can I sleep in the RV or connect utilities?
The handout explains parking placement, not a complete sleeping, residential-use or hookup route. The checker leaves these activities unresolved. A vehicle fitting the storage rule is not automatically lawful accommodation.
Who handles questions and inoperable RVs?
The handout directs private-property matters to Code Compliance and street matters to Hemet Police. It also describes case-by-case help for some inoperable or abandoned vehicles. A registered, parked unit and an inoperable abandoned unit should not be treated as the same situation.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address, parcel approvals and any later amendments with Hemet planning or code enforcement before relying on an exception. Private HOA restrictions can also apply.
Use the Hemet parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
