Broomfield’s City Council has voted to crack down on long-term RV street parking, signing off on an ordinance that blocks major recreational vehicles from staying on public streets longer than 72 hours in any 14 days. The measure passed 7 to 2, and officials say enforcement will begin roughly a week after the ordinance’s final publication.
What the ordinance does
The new ordinance lays out what counts as a “major recreational vehicle” and caps on-street parking at 72 hours in any 14-day window, while still allowing short-term stops for loading, trip prep and minor maintenance. As outlined by the City and County of Broomfield’s ordinance, the code also bans RVs that are leaking or hooked up to utilities on the street, creates a seven-day visitor permit and sets up notice, administrative penalty and towing procedures. The law takes effect seven days after publication following final passage. The document also details setback and sight-line rules that city officials say are aimed at keeping neighborhoods safe.
