Jurisdiction and research scope
City of McMinnville, Oregon only, not surrounding unincorporated Yamhill County or another municipality. Undated current police RV Parking Permit application, read November 6, 2026. The permit form cites MMC 8.36.030 for camping, but does not reproduce all street-placement rules.

McMinnville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The police permit form does not establish private-driveway storage permission. Ask Planning for yard placement and any screening or surface requirements. |
| Street / loading | Free permit route: no more than 3 consecutive days and 4 permits per RV each calendar year. Confirm whether this exact loading stay requires a permit or fits another exception. |
| Sleeping / utilities | The parking permit expressly does not authorize camping or living in the RV. Hookups require separate review; the parking permit does not authorize them. |
Three-day parking permits
The city’s no-cost RV parking permit is valid for no more than three consecutive days. A single RV may receive at most four permits in a calendar year. These limits apply to the permit route, not an unrestricted right to use every parking location.
Permit issuance and display
The property owner or lawful tenant completes the city form. The resulting email serves as the permit and must be displayed plainly in the vehicle. Confirm that the location and dates are covered; do not count an uncompleted request as authorization.
Parking is different from camping
The application expressly says the permit does not allow camping or living in the RV and points to MMC 8.36.030. Private-lot storage, guest occupancy, hookups and other camping exceptions need separate confirmation. Any signed or unsafe street location remains subject to the traffic rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask McMinnville 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 McMinnville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
