Larimer County is sharing a draft camping and parking ordinance and inviting community feedback as part of the public process.

Upcoming Meetings & Background
Upcoming Meetings
The Board of County Commissioners is taking additional time to review the draft ordinance proposal and hear from the community before deciding whether to move forward.
If the process continues, possible hearing dates in July or August are being considered. Once next steps are determined, this page will be updated.
About the Proposed Ordinance
Larimer County is considering a camping and parking ordinance to address ongoing concerns related to camping, vehicle use, and access in public and private spaces.
The ordinance would:
Establish a civil enforcement process (not criminal)
Create a structured approach for addressing concerns and encouraging compliance
Provide a consistent framework for responding to reported issues
Why is this ordinance being considered?
This proposal is being considered in response to ongoing concerns from community members and public safety partners related to:
access and safety
impacts on neighborhoods and shared spaces
challenges associated with camping and prolonged vehicle use
At the same time, the County recognizes that homelessness and housing instability are complex, community-wide issues. This ordinance is one potential tool under consideration and does not represent the full scope of ongoing efforts to address those challenges.
