RV Temporary Permit Terms & Conditions

  1. The purpose of authorizing the issuance of Temporary RV Parking Permits is to give owners of Recreational Vehicles (RVs) the opportunity, for a limited time, to park the RV on a public street or highway directly in front of (or on the side of the property if it is a corner lot) their residence for purposes of loading and unloading, and to allow an Out-of-town visitor who owns a RV to park on a public street or highway directly in front of (or on the side of the property if it is a corner lot) the residence which the Out-of-town visitor is visiting for a limited time period, and to allow a RV to be used on a temporary basis for a community-serving event, or, in order to provide flexibility in administration, as deemed appropriate by the Parking Services Manager.
  2. This permit is issued to the undersigned ONLY for their sole use. The permit is non-transferable. Parking permits must be properly displayed at all times in the lower driver side of the windshield or nearest window of the RV for which it has been issued so that it is clearly visible from the exterior of the vehicle. Failure to properly display temporary permits could subject the vehicle to citation and/or towing.
  3. The City reserves the right to revoke the permit when, in the sole opinion of the City, the permit is being misused by the applicant.
  4. Storage of a RV on public streets beyond the dates listed on the permit is prohibited. Temporary exceptions may be made by obtaining authorization from the Parking Services Office at (415) 458-5333.
