Amityville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Owner must actually reside on the premises; gross weight under 10,000 lb OR length under 30 ft; no living or sleeping. |
| Public parking | Not determined. |
| Occupancy | Excluded from the owner-at-home parking exception. |
Strict size and weight wording
Section 166-1 defines an RV as a self-propelled vehicle usable as living or sleeping quarters with gross weight greater than 10,000 pounds OR overall length greater than 30 feet. Section 166-2C separately protects owner-at-home parking of a recreational vehicle or camper having gross weight less than 10,000 pounds OR length less than 30 feet. These are strict inequalities and the word is OR, not AND. Exactly 10,000 pounds and exactly 30 feet simultaneously falls on neither strict threshold; this guide does not resolve that classification gap.

Owner residence and unoccupied parking
Section 166-2A generally requires Board of Trustees approval to park or store covered trailers, RVs and storage containers on village land. The §166-2C exception requires that the vehicle owner actually reside on the premises and bars using the vehicle as living or sleeping quarters there. Being a guest or having a relative own the property is not this owner-residence exception. Non-self-propelled trailers have a separate definition and are not decided by this narrow motorized route.

Current license duration and discretionary approval
Section 166-3 requires a license before a non-exempt use, with a written application and Board investigation. Local Law 2-2026, adopted July 13 and filed July 20, 2026, changes §166-4B: a trailer or RV license lasts one year FROM ISSUANCE unless the Board sets a shorter period. The older codified June 1 to May 31 schedule is superseded. Storage-container licenses retain their separate 90-day rule. Renewal is discretionary, and §166-5 prohibits mobile trailer parks or camps for hire. This checker neither issues nor renews a license.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the proposal with the municipality. Limited administrative screening only, not a permit or complete legal approval. The full adopted July 2026 amendment controls over the older license dates still displayed in the raw code capture. Later-law review also identified commercial-traffic and multiple-dwelling moratorium provisions outside this existing-home, noncommercial scope. No trailer, campsite, street, special-license or utility approval.
Use the Amityville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
