City of Boca Raton only, not unincorporated Palm Beach County addresses using Boca Raton. The city’s Property Maintenance Information page cites §28-1507 and traffic §§16-32/16-33, but gives no revision or consolidated edition date. Reviewed November 6, 2026. This is the city’s basic guidance, not a full analysis of exceptions in the code.

Garage, carport or screened side/rear yard

The city identifies a permitted garage or carport, or a side or rear yard screened from off-premises view by a fence, wall or hedge. Its page also prohibits parking on a lawn. A tarp or a front driveway alone should not be treated as a substitute for the listed location and screening.

Keep public areas clear

The property-maintenance page bars sidewalk, bicycle-path and crosswalk parking and warns against street and right-of-way parking. It is not a complete guide to marked public parking facilities or special traffic designations. Ask Parking about any proposed public location.

Condition, licensing and intended use

The city directs owners to repair a vehicle and attach a current valid tag or remove it. This storage guidance does not provide a sleeping, housekeeping, utility-hookup or repair authorization. A guest stay needs a separate zoning answer.

Confirm exceptions before relying on them

The short guidance does not state a loading window or every size, ownership or placement condition in the full code. Ask Code Enforcement about those details, the property boundary and any claimed exception before storing an RV.

Who to contact for your setup

Contact Boca Raton Code Enforcement through the linked city guidance or City Hall at 561-393-7700. Provide the exact parking position, screening, vehicle size and intended use. HOA rules, leases, easements, floodplain limits and other private restrictions remain separate.

Use the Boca Raton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
