Covered trailers and street ban
Section 23-6.14 applies to campers and recreational trailers, among other named items. It prohibits open parking/storage on any street, highway or public place. A trailer over one ton cannot park in a residential zone. A self-propelled motorhome classification is not automatically resolved by this trailer section.
Interior and corner lots
In R-A/R-B interior lots, an owner may store the item in a garage or in the half of the rear yard closest to the dwelling. No part may project beyond the front wall or above the highest point of the lowest roof. Corner lots additionally allow the driveway point farthest from the street, or the half of a larger side yard closest to the dwelling, with all front-wall and roof limits. Driveway construction and site restrictions still apply.
No guest sleeping
A camper or recreational trailer parked or stored under the section cannot be occupied for living, sleeping or housekeeping. No loading clock or utility hookup entitlement is stated. Obtain a specific determination for other districts, uncertain vehicle weight/classification or special approvals.
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.
