The City of Apple Valley has laid out clear standards for parking and storing vehicles on private property, aiming to uphold the aesthetic and functionality of residential areas. A notice posted on the city's official website clarifies that all motor vehicles must be parked on an improved parking surface — that's concrete, asphalt, or pavers. The city's ordinance stipulates that vehicles in front yards stick to driveways, and sidewalks are strictly no-parking zones.
A stipulation that might raise eyebrows, trailers and non-motorized recreational vehicles like boats aren't held to the same standard, they can rest on grass or gravel in side and rear yards. According to the City of Apple Valley website, there's also a cap on how many vehicles can call a residential piece of land home — four, to be exact. If you're someone with a need to park more passenger vehicles, worry not; a special residential parking permit can extend that number up to six.
Trailers and non-motorized vehicles like boats can be parked on grass or gravel in side and rear yards. The City of Apple Valley limits residential parking to four vehicles, but a special permit allows up to six, as per the City of Apple Valley.
The City of Apple Valley separates trailers into two categories: Class I, measuring under 8 feet tall and 22 feet long, and the larger Class II. Smaller residential lots are limited to two Class I trailers or one Class II trailer. Properties over an acre may have up to four trailers, provided at least half are screened from public view. City rules also require all trailers to remain free of debris and stored items. Questions can be directed to Apple Valley’s Code Enforcement office.
