Jurisdiction and research scope
Brandon private RV storage separates five-foot side/rear margins, conditional driveway placement, fifteen-foot curb clearance and annual sleeping limits, with later overlays requiring review. These selected checks do not supply complete parking or accommodation permission.

Brandon RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Side and rear storage requires five feet | The selected outdoor side or rear route requires the unit to be at least five feet from the lot line. Enclosed storage is also named only where the structure complies with its district zoning. No enclosed-building or general front-yard permission is inferred from the outdoor route. |
| Driveway storage has several independent conditions | A driveway must be hard-surfaced or well-drained gravel. Side/rear space must be unavailable or reasonable access unavailable, inside parking must be impossible, and the unit must be perpendicular to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear access; a fence does not necessarily prevent reasonable access. A convenient driveway is not enough by itself. |
| Keep fifteen feet from curb faces and clear public space | The body must be at least fifteen feet from the face of any curb. This is a separate numbered provision rather than a condition restricted only to driveways. No part may extend over public sidewalk or right-of-way. Confirm the whole unit, including projections, not only the tires. |
| Sleeping is limited and cooking is excluded | Ordinary parking is for storage, with overnight sleeping for at most fourteen days in one calendar year. Cooking is not permitted. Permanent sewer, water and electricity connections are excluded, while temporary electricity for batteries and other purposes is recognized. Unrelated goods or equipment cannot be stored inside. |
Confirm Village of Brandon and the regulatory layers
This guide concerns the Village of Brandon, Wisconsin. Section 485-47 names residential and commercial private-property storage. Its travel-trailer dimensions apply to that defined class, not automatically to motorhomes and other listed classes. The checker deliberately excludes unconfirmed floodplain locations and R-2 parcels pending review of later overlay and yard rules.
Side and rear storage requires five feet
The selected outdoor side or rear route requires the unit to be at least five feet from the lot line. Enclosed storage is also named only where the structure complies with its district zoning. No enclosed-building or general front-yard permission is inferred from the outdoor route.
Driveway storage has several independent conditions
A driveway must be hard-surfaced or well-drained gravel. Side/rear space must be unavailable or reasonable access unavailable, inside parking must be impossible, and the unit must be perpendicular to the front curb. Corner lots are always deemed to have reasonable rear access; a fence does not necessarily prevent reasonable access. A convenient driveway is not enough by itself.
Keep fifteen feet from curb faces and clear public space
The body must be at least fifteen feet from the face of any curb. This is a separate numbered provision rather than a condition restricted only to driveways. No part may extend over public sidewalk or right-of-way. Confirm the whole unit, including projections, not only the tires.
Sleeping is limited and cooking is excluded
Ordinary parking is for storage, with overnight sleeping for at most fourteen days in one calendar year. Cooking is not permitted. Permanent sewer, water and electricity connections are excluded, while temporary electricity for batteries and other purposes is recognized. Unrelated goods or equipment cannot be stored inside.
Ownership and active loading require separate treatment
The RV or boat must be owned by the resident whose property is used for storage. An express notwithstanding exception allows placement anywhere on the premises during active loading or unloading with necessary electricity or propane preparation. The checker leaves that exception unresolved rather than extending it to ordinary storage or water/sewer hookups.
Later floodplain and R-2 amendments cannot be ignored
The posted code includes legislation through February 12, 2024. Later Ordinance 2024-02 recreates floodplain zoning, including distinct campground and floodfringe RV provisions; those are not general residential sleeping permissions. Ordinance 2025-01 changes R-2 height, area and yard requirements. Confirm regulated floodplain boundaries and current R-2 requirements before applying a private-storage answer.
Main Street has a newer signed-parking requirement
Ordinance 2026-02 sets a four-consecutive-hour limit on either side of Main Street between Center Street and Lockin Street, with enforcement/effect tied to required visible signs and passage/publication. The checker does not certify those signs or treat this as street-sleeping permission. Ordinance 2026-01 concerns recycling. All four ordinances were available; ordinary parking rules remain subject to these separate layers.
