The Danville Police Department wants to remind residents that permits are needed to park a motorhome in front of a house in Danville. This three-day allowance gives people time to park a motorhome in front of their residence to load it before a vacation and again to unload it after a vacation. It also allows for a short visit from family members or friends, noted Community Services Officer Toni Ferreira.
Permits, which are free, are issued for three days at a time and must be obtained in person at the Police Department, 510 La Gonda Way. Hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. Bring in the make, model and license number as well as the address of the residence where it will be parked. People may also present circumstances to have the permit reissued after the three days. Call 314-3410.
If a motorhome does not have a permit, it will receive a $50 ticket. Motorhomes parked in driveways come under the jurisdiction of the Code Enforcement Department. Neighbors often call to complain to Code Enforcement about motorhomes in driveways, said Ferreira, plus Code Enforcement officers might spot them when they are driving around.
