Ordinary outdoor storage
Section 11.08B allows RVs, boats and trailers up to 24 feet long including the entire trailer outside an enclosed building on residential land. No more than two total RVs, boats, trailers or equipment may be stored outdoors. The vehicle owner must own the lot. Storage is behind the front foundation line, as far from the road as practical, and at least ten feet from every lot line.
Front yard and enclosure
A driveway or paved front-yard surface may hold an RV up to 24 feet between May 1 and October 1. Any-size RV may load/unload there up to 48 hours. The relationship of those front-yard exceptions to the ordinary rearward placement conditions should be confirmed for a specific site. Any-size RV can be stored in an enclosed garage or permitted accessory building without living quarters or business.
Condition, surfaces and use
Ordinary outdoor storage requires good repair, current Ohio licensing/registration as required, vehicle-fitted covers, and a full-area hard surface excluding gravel or approved solid pervious pavers. No temporary/permanent living, business or permanent electric, water, gas or sewer connections. Temporary utility work is not automatically cleared. Roads and nonresidential land need separate determinations.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Boardman Township 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 Boardman Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
