Carrollton RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Outdoor storage belongs in a rear or side yard, on property owned or occupied by the vehicle owner. A front driveway is not automatically covered. |
| yard | Use a garage or rear/side yard; place behind the front building line and screen from neighboring residences where reasonably possible. |
| guest | Ordinary temporary RV or travel-trailer occupancy is limited to thirty days in a calendar year; permanent living quarters are prohibited. |
| street | The temporary-housing chapter does not establish street-parking permission. |
| loading | Loading and unloading alone may last a reasonable period, never more than three days. |
| hookups | A storage result does not authorize occupancy or utility connections. Confirm applicable service and safety requirements. |
| uncertainty | The RV and travel-trailer definitions have an eight-foot width ceiling. Designated parks and special permits need separate confirmation. |
Check the vehicle definition
The chapter’s motorhome and travel-trailer definitions cover units no more than eight feet wide. Camper and camper-trailer definitions are separate; the ordinary temporary-occupancy allowance names RVs and travel trailers.
Store only on qualifying property
The RV or travel-trailer owner must own or occupy the property. Storage means the vehicle is not in use and not occupied as such.
Use the right part of the lot
Outside a garage, storage must be in a rear or side yard. The front-building-line and neighboring-view screening requirements apply where reasonably possible, not as unconditional screening mandates.
Keep temporary stays separate
Section 420.015 allows ordinary temporary occupancy for no more than thirty days in a calendar year. Special permits and specially designated RV parks are separate pathways, not automatic exceptions.
Permanent living quarters are prohibited
Campers, camper trailers, travel trailers and RVs may not be permanent residences or permanent living quarters. A short proposed duration does not itself settle whether the use is genuinely temporary.
Loading and condition still matter
Loading or unloading must be for a reasonable time and never longer than three days. Vehicles must be in good working order and must not harbor trash, rubbish or vehicle parts.
