Recreational Vehicle (RV) Parking

RVs, trailers, and boats may not be parked or stored on-street in neighborhoods except when actively loading/unloading or with a temporary RV parking permit. Each permit is valid for 7 days (maximum 14 days per year per household).

How to get a permit:

• Pick up a form at City Hall – Building Permit Center

• Or download and submit the Recreational Vehicle ROW Permit Application

• Mail to: Code Compliance, City of Vancouver, P.O. Box 1995, Vancouver, WA 98668

RVs and vehicles towing trailers may park on-street in pay-to-park spaces if:

• They do not block driveways, alleys, or traffic lanes
• They fit fully within designated parking stalls
• Payment is made for each stall the vehicle is occupying. Each parking stall must be paid for in a separate transaction. Extending a single payment to cover multiple spaces or an extended length of time is not permitted.
