RV Permits

Parking of recreational vehicles, unattached trailers and oversized vehicles requires an “RV permit” which must be obtained through the Police Department.  Residents must contact the Police Department to obtain either a loading or unloading permit (valid for two days) or a visitor’s permit (valid for seven days). 

The two-day loading or unloading RV permit will be issued to City residents needing to park their motor home, recreational vehicle, trailer, etc. in front of their home to pack or prepare for a trip.  The vehicle must be parked on the street in the street in front of the owner’s home.  The two-day RV permits can be obtained over the phone by contacting the Buena Park Police Department directly at (714) 562-3902.

The seven-day visitor’s RV permit is issued to out of town guests visiting a residence in Buena Park.  The permit is, of course, valid for seven consecutive days, and the vehicle must be parked on the street in front of the home being visited.  A maximum of six permits are allowed per household, per year.  To obtain these permits please come to the front counter of the Police Department, as seven day permits cannot be issued over the phone.
