Bangor Township (Bay County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Fixed hookups and living use | Section 5.13(A) prohibits fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary sewer connections and living or housekeeping use under the ordinary storage route. A general utilities selection does not establish whether a particular connection is fixed. Separate approved temporary-use or waiver documents require individual review. |
| Outdoor storage beyond 48 hours | Under the current chapter, outdoor storage beyond 48 hours belongs in a side or rear yard on an ordinary non-waterfront lot, at least 10 feet from a dwelling on an adjacent lot. Waterfront lots use the front or side yard with the same adjacent-dwelling clearance. Because that waterfront sentence stands separately, the checker does not determine whether its location rule also governs stays of 48 hours or less; those short stays remain unknown, not exempt. Do not substitute the older enforcement FAQ’s lot-line distance or front-only waterfront wording. |
| Condition and current credentials | Equipment must be in good repair and carry the required current-year license or registration. Motor vehicles that require road registration and licensing must also be in good running condition, capable of operation as licensed, with current registration and license in the dwelling occupant’s name. |
| Loading has a separate limited exception | Section 5.13(C) provides a location exception for loading or unloading anywhere on the premises for no more than 48 hours within a seven-day period. This checker leaves loading unknown rather than treating the location exception as a waiver of every other condition or inventing a clock-reset rule. |
Use the Bay County township rules
This guide covers Bangor Township in Bay County, not the City of Bangor or another Michigan township with the same name. Confirm the exact parcel and whether it is residentially used. Manufactured homes are not recreational vehicles under this selected section.
Fixed hookups and living use
Section 5.13(A) prohibits fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary sewer connections and living or housekeeping use under the ordinary storage route. A general utilities selection does not establish whether a particular connection is fixed. Separate approved temporary-use or waiver documents require individual review.
Outdoor storage beyond 48 hours
Under the current chapter, outdoor storage beyond 48 hours belongs in a side or rear yard on an ordinary non-waterfront lot, at least 10 feet from a dwelling on an adjacent lot. Waterfront lots use the front or side yard with the same adjacent-dwelling clearance. Because that waterfront sentence stands separately, the checker does not determine whether its location rule also governs stays of 48 hours or less; those short stays remain unknown, not exempt. Do not substitute the older enforcement FAQ’s lot-line distance or front-only waterfront wording.
Condition and current credentials
Equipment must be in good repair and carry the required current-year license or registration. Motor vehicles that require road registration and licensing must also be in good running condition, capable of operation as licensed, with current registration and license in the dwelling occupant’s name.
Loading has a separate limited exception
Section 5.13(C) provides a location exception for loading or unloading anywhere on the premises for no more than 48 hours within a seven-day period. This checker leaves loading unknown rather than treating the location exception as a waiver of every other condition or inventing a clock-reset rule.
Multiple-family complexes and permit waivers
Section 5.13(G) prohibits parking longer than 48 hours in a multiple-family residential complex. Section 5.13(F) separately allows Building Official permits to waive specified utility, living-use and location provisions for up to two weeks for occupant equipment repairs or a guest RV, with no more than two permits for each activity per calendar year. This tool does not issue those permits or assess their terms.
Current source and remaining approvals
The official municipal index links the June 2026 Article 5 PDF, including Ordinance 415 effective May 27, 2026. Later board minutes and October agendas were reviewed without identifying a change to selected section 5.13; this is not an exhaustive legislative certification. This guide uses current section 5.13, not the older section 5.15 enforcement excerpt. Confirm current parcel rules and any special approval.
