Anne Arundel County RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Defined motorized RVs excluded from §18-17-103 weight ban; other placement rules unresolved. Confirm zoning, setbacks, surface, screening and parcel-specific requirements. |
| Street / loading | No highway dwelling/residence/accommodation 9 p.m.–6 a.m. Loading is separate from storage; no additional loading allowance is established here. |

The local rule
Section 9-1-712 covers camping vehicles, motorhomes, park model RVs and travel trailers. It prohibits use or occupancy as a dwelling, residence or accommodation during the stated hours. Daytime is not a blanket camping allowance.
Conditions and exceptions
Section 18-17-103 excludes its defined motorized recreational vehicles from the residential-lot 10,000-pound GVWR prohibition. That exclusion is not general storage permission and does not automatically cover every towable trailer. Zoning, registration, condition, location and service approvals still need review.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Anne Arundel County Planning, Code Enforcement or the road authority to confirm the actual parcel or street, vehicle class, duration and intended use. Check later amendments and required permits. HOA restrictions, leases and easements remain separate. Start with the official source.
Use the Anne Arundel County parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
