Belleville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | In single-family zones, garage storage is allowed. Front/side driveway storage requires ten feet from the curb; the code also says no outside side-yard storage, so reconcile side-yard cases with the city. Rear-yard outdoor storage is allowed only when that yard is not adjacent to a street. |
| Street / loading | Street parking is prohibited unless connected to a motor vehicle for loading/unloading personal property, no longer than 48 hours. City-owned property has a 10 p.m.–6 a.m. overnight prohibition. The 48-hour limit is an exception with connection and loading requirements, not ordinary street storage permission. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Single-family and commercial zoning clauses permit temporary sleeping of guests or residents for no more than seven nights in 30 days; other living or housekeeping is not authorized. A fully enclosed onboard sanitary system is required; fixed sanitary sewer connections are prohibited. All parked RVs need current registration, title and insurance. |

Who to contact for your setup
Ask Belleville Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Belleville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
