As a reminder to the residents of Fillmore, the Fillmore Municipal Code prohibits the parking or storage of any vehicle upon any street, alley, or public parking lot, or upon any property owned or possessed by the city, for more than 72 hours (Fillmore Municipal Code Section 14.36.030).

The Municipal Code also prohibits the parking of recreational vehicles and trailers between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on any street, alley or highway. (Fillmore Municipal Code Section 14.56.020).

These sections do allow for the parking of such vehicles for up to 7 days if someone is visiting a resident, but to do so, the Police Department must be notified before 11:00 p.m. on the first day the RV or trailer is so parked. This section also allows an RV or trailer to be parked upon any street for a period of 72 hours or less for the purpose of loading, unloading, or preparing the vehicle for use, or for a period of 24 hours or less to carry out emergency repairs, but to do so, the Police Department must be notified.

During the month of September, the Fillmore Police Department will be making a concerted effort to locate and remove abandoned vehicles and trailers at the owners’ expense.

The Municipal Code is available for review at City Clerk’s Office or online via the City of Fillmore’s website, www.fillmoreca.com. Notify the Police Department of an abandoned vehicle at 805-524-2233 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
