Hanford rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Hanford, an RV or trailer that gets a written parking warning may stay at that spot or within 1,000 feet for 72 hours, then may not park there for seven days except to load or unload between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
In Hanford, the code says public streets are not for storing or long-term parking of RVs and trailers: after a written warning, a trailer may stay at that spot or within 1,000 feet for 72 hours, then may not park there for seven days except to return for loading or unloading between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Commercial vehicles over five tons can't park on streets fronting residential property except while making pickups or deliveries. Any object placed on a city street or right-of-way needs an encroachment permit from the public works director, and using more than one parking space downtown needs one too.
