In Brief

Plumas County let its fire emergency ordinance allowing RV living expire on June 30. Nevada County postponed a vote to legalize permanent RV living, where an estimated 1,000 people already live illegally in RVs.

Two California counties have taken different approaches to the issue of living in recreational vehicles (RVs).

Plumas County: emergency ordinance expires

The Plumas County Board of Supervisors allowed its emergency ordinance, adopted after the Dixie and Beckwourth Complex fires, to expire on June 30. The ordinance had permitted residents to live in RVs. County officials said they will begin actively informing RV residents about the need to find permanent housing, sending letters and holding meetings. According to the enforcement department, up to 22 people may have abused the ordinance by living in RVs without connection to the fires, including on others' land.

Nevada County: legalization vote delayed

The Nevada County Board of Supervisors postponed a vote to legalize permanent RV living, sending staff back to refine the draft ordinance. An estimated 1,000 people already live illegally in RVs in the county. The draft, similar to one previously adopted for tiny houses on wheels, includes strict criteria such as vehicle registration, safety standards compliance, and septic system requirements. The county could become the first in California to adopt such rules.
