Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Allen Park, Wayne County, Michigan only, not Allen Township or the City of Allen. Official Building Department RV/Trailer Parking Permit Application read November 6, 2026. The undated form cites Ordinance 2007-06 but is not the full ordinance or a current code consolidation. It supports the limited temporary-permit information here; ordinary long-term storage, street rules, complete site conditions and later amendments remain unresolved.

Allen Park RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Temporary home parking described by the City permit form; long-term storage unresolved. Complete site and setback conditions require the issued permit and ordinance. |
| Street / loading | Not established by the private-property permit form. Two nonconsecutive 24-hour periods; recurrence interval not stated on form. |
| Sleeping / hookups | No sleeping or residence permission established. No hookup permission established. |
Cleaning and minor repairs
The City’s application describes temporary storage on the property for cleaning and minor repairs for up to 20 days per year and no more than 12 consecutive days. Both limits matter. This does not establish a 20-day allowance for an RV residence, ordinary vacation parking or major repair work.
Loading and unloading
The same form separately describes up to two nonconsecutive 24-hour periods for loading and unloading. It does not state a recurrence interval for those two periods, so this guide does not reset them every week or every trip. Confirm how the City counts them for the requested permit and dates.
A form is not an issued permit
The form asks for the exact RV/trailer location, residential or commercial property type, number of days or hours and from/to dates. It states that all sections must be completed before review and approval. Obtain the City’s decision on the proposed location and dates rather than treating an unsubmitted or pending application as permission.
What this source does not establish
The permit form does not reproduce the complete long-term parking rule, setbacks, vehicle-size restrictions, public-street law, occupied-use rules or hookup requirements. Ask the Building Department about those subjects before choosing a storage or sleeping location. Short permitted cleaning/loading activity is not proof that a guest may sleep there.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Allen Park Planning, Building or Code Enforcement to confirm the parcel jurisdiction, zoning district, vehicle classification, measured position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions. Bring the actual written terms of any permit or variance. Private covenants, leases, easements, access and later adopted amendments remain separate.
Use the Allen Park parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
