Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Anderson, South Carolina only, not Anderson County or namesakes in other states. Current published Appendix A §14.13 agrees with the city-hosted Article 14 PDF; the PDF does not provide a current supplement cutoff. Public-street rules need a separate current answer, especially given 2026 ordinance activity. Reviewed November 6, 2026.

Anderson RV parking at a glance

|---|---|

Behind the building front
Appendix A §14.13 prohibits storing campers, RVs or recreational equipment closer to the street than the front line of the principal building. Parking must also observe all setback, yard and accessory-use requirements in the residential district.
The 24-hour exception
The section permits equipment anywhere on residential premises for no more than 24 hours during loading and unloading. This does not authorize a public-street stay or remove every access and safety requirement. A longer stay must satisfy the ordinary position.
No sleeping on residential lots
The same provision bars living, sleeping and housekeeping in the equipment when parked or stored on a residential lot. A visiting guest or permission from the homeowner does not create an exception in this text.
Inoperable and unlicensed vehicles
Section 14.14 has separate rules for vehicles both inoperable and lacking current lawful tags, including enclosure/cover provisions and specific exceptions. Those are not a substitute for the RV placement rule or proof of dwelling permission. Confirm any nonconforming rights and current street ordinance with the city.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Anderson Planning, Zoning or Code Enforcement to confirm the governing parcel, vehicle class, exact position, district, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about public parking and the floodplain or building official about mapped hazards and utility approvals. HOA rules, leases, easements and private access remain separate.
Use the Anderson parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
