Jurisdiction and research scope
Adams Township (Butler County), Butler County, Pennsylvania only. Sources read November 6, 2026. Section 192-54G is the operative RV clause. New Ordinance 195 addresses refuse collection. Ordinance 194 adopts the Mars merger agreement; the municipal notice specifies January 1, 2028 as its effective date, so this guide does not extend Adams rules into Mars Borough.

Adams Township (Butler County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Garage | Expressly identified storage location. |
| Rear yard | Expressly identified outdoor storage location. |
| Residential occupancy | More than two weeks prohibited; shorter use needs confirmation. |
Can I store an RV at home?
Section 192-54G permits boat trailers, camper tops and similar self-propelled or towed RVs to be stored on a lot inside a garage or in the rear yard. A paved front driveway is not a rear yard merely because it is on private land. Confirm the legal yard and applicable site restrictions with zoning staff.
Does a two-week stay automatically qualify?
No. The clause prohibits residential occupancy for more than two weeks. It does not establish every permit, health requirement, hookup approval or condition for a shorter occupied stay. Ask about the actual guest use rather than treating the time ceiling as automatic permission.
Does this include Mars Borough?
No. Adams Township and Mars Borough remain distinct for this guide. The official 2026 merger materials specify an effective date of January 1, 2028. A Mars mailing address can identify land outside Mars Borough, so determine the actual parcel municipality.
What about streets, loading and connections?
The accessory-use provision does not supply a street-parking allowance or a front-driveway loading exception. Utility installations, street restrictions, floodplain conditions and private covenants require separate consideration.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask municipal zoning staff to confirm the parcel, legal yard boundaries, vehicle classification, intended use and later ordinances. Ask Police about street restrictions. Private covenants, leases and utility approvals remain separate.
Use the Adams Township (Butler County) parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
