Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Boynton Beach only, not unincorporated Palm Beach County. Reviewed November 6, 2026. Official Common Code Violations guidance is undated; the separate Parking Regulations page describes adopted Ordinance 25-018, effective February 1, 2026, and its roadway-adjacent scope. Read both rather than treating either short summary as a complete code edition.

Boynton Beach RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / home storage | Qualifying driveway/carport storage is possible. At most one RV between the right-of-way and structure, on a hard surface, fully on private property. |
| Yard | Rear: at least five feet from rear line. Side: no farther forward than front roofline. New roadway-adjacent unimproved-yard restriction also applies. |
| Street / loading | New street/right-of-way restrictions control; older one-hour RV guidance is not a parking permission. No general loading exception to the newer restrictions is established; special-event parking is a separate narrow exception. |
| Sleeping / hookups | Occupancy is prohibited unless specifically allowed in the applicable zoning district. Storage permission does not authorize utility service or occupied use. |
Private-property storage limits
The city lists a carport, driveway, rear yard at least five feet from the rear lot line, or side yard not extending beyond the front roofline. The RV must be owned or used by a resident, currently registered/licensed, entirely on private property and positioned without creating a driveway or sidewalk hazard.
Two units, but only one in front
The total is two vehicles other than passenger vehicles, excluding those in a garage. Only one RV may be between the right-of-way and the structure, and that front position must be a driveway or another hard surface such as asphalt, pavers or concrete. Construction, reconstruction or major repair cannot have continued more than seven consecutive days.
Apply the newer 2026 parking restrictions
The city explains that §14-5(4), as amended by Ordinance 25-018, targets streets, rights-of-way, swales and grass or similar unimproved areas adjacent to roads. Its detailed interpretation says a wholly private fenced backyard that is not road-adjacent or visible from a lawful public viewpoint is outside that amendment’s scope. This does not waive the separate RV conditions.
No ordinary residential sleeping permission
Occupying an RV on private property is prohibited unless specifically allowed in the applicable zoning district. The older guidance’s one-hour public-right-of-way maximum does not override newer street restrictions. Special-event parking up to 12 hours in 24 is a narrow event exception, excludes short-term rentals and does not authorize RV camping. The City describes temporary residential events with host or neighbor permission and unobstructed traffic. Its general event guidance does not expressly resolve every RV-specific condition. The checker asks whether the exception is claimed and holds claimed or uncertain cases for City review, without waiving independent RV resident-use, registration, count, surface, safety or location requirements.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Boynton Beach Code Enforcement about both the private RV provisions and Ordinance 25-018. City Hall: 561-742-6000. Describe whether the space is road-adjacent, improved, wholly private and used for sleeping. HOA rules, leases, easements, floodplain limits and other private restrictions remain separate.
Use the Boynton Beach parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
