Paramount RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Zoning/screening/safety and overlapping commercial-vehicle restrictions apply. No major residential repairs; preserve wheels and ready removal; protect pointed parts near paths. |
| Street / loading | General RV prohibition with narrow loading/service/waiver routes. Active loading cap: RV three days, commercial vehicle twelve hours; resolve overlapping classification. |
| Sleeping / utilities | At most three days on private residential property with owner/lawful occupier permission, subject to other restrictions. No RV-to-structure utility connections. |
Public prohibition and active loading
Public streets, rights-of-way and city-owned off-street facilities ordinarily prohibit RV parking. Active loading or unloading has an exception capped at three consecutive days for an RV and twelve consecutive hours for a commercial vehicle. Active service on a property in the same block and individually granted short-term waivers are separate routes. The code defines commercial vehicles broadly, including any vehicle over nineteen feet long or seven feet wide or high; resolve any overlap before applying the longer RV window.
Short private occupancy and placement
Residence purposes include living, sleeping and temporary shelter. Outside a lawful trailer/mobile-home park, the exception allows no more than three days on private residential property with the owner or lawful occupier permission. Parking must also satisfy zoning, screening and safety conditions. The separate commercial-vehicle restriction can still affect a large RV; the occupancy exception does not resolve that conflict.
Connections, repairs and hazards
Connections between an RV and a structure are prohibited. Major RV repairs are prohibited on residential-use property. Keep wheels attached and preserve ready removal; do not affix the RV to the ground. Pointed parts within two feet of a pedestrian or vehicle way require covering or protection. The old one-year transition waiver is not a current automatic entitlement.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Paramount 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 Paramount parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
