Jurisdiction and research scope
Bloomfield Charter Township, Oakland County, Michigan only, not a namesake city or another township. Confirm the parcel’s actual governing authority rather than relying on its mailing address. Official Resident Information webpage, undated, read November 6, 2026, citing Open Storage Ordinance §42-5.5. This guide reports the Township’s published guidance; complete code text, exact exceptions and all later amendments were not established.

Outdoor storage versus a garage
The Township expressly answers no to storing an RV, motorhome, boat or trailer outside on residential property and identifies §42-5.5. It separately permits storage inside a garage. A cover, fence or open-sided shelter is not the same as storing the unit inside a garage.
Call before repair or trip preparation
The Township says residents may call in advance about bringing equipment home for a few days for repairs or vacation preparation. Its described leniency lasts only a few days and depends on no complaints from other residents. The page supplies no fixed-hour entitlement. Confirm the proposed dates and location before arrival.
Sleeping, hookups and roads
The storage guidance does not establish permission for guests to sleep in the RV or connect site utilities. It does not establish public-road parking rights. Confirm those uses separately with Township officials; garage-storage guidance is not housing permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Bloomfield Charter Township Planning, Building or Ordinance Enforcement to confirm the parcel, district, vehicle class, dimensions, exact parking position, intended use and current amendments. Obtain actual permit conditions before relying on an exception. Ask the road authority about public parking. HOA, lease, easement and private-property restrictions remain separate.
Use the Bloomfield Charter Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
