Cherokee County RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Unoccupied storage placement not resolved by occupancy FAQ. Parcel-specific parking answer needed. |
| Public parking / loading | No street-parking permission supplied. Loading rules not established by this FAQ. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Permanent occupancy triggers: 30 consecutive or 30 in 90 days. Metered water/electricity at unique mailing address is an independent trigger. |
What counts as permanent occupancy?
The county’s RV FAQ identifies three independent triggers: occupation for 30 or more consecutive days; occupation for 30 or more nonconsecutive days in a 90-day period; or connection to metered water or electrical power at a unique mailing address. Reaching any trigger is enough under that guidance.
Does a short stay automatically qualify?
No. Falling below the day thresholds only avoids those specific definitions; it does not establish that a particular residential parcel may host an occupied RV. Ask zoning about the actual use, prior occupied days and any connections.
Are campgrounds different?
The FAQ separately points to designated, approved campgrounds under §7.7-2. It lists site/use requirements and a stay limit of no more than 30 consecutive days for people other than permanent staff. Ask the county how the approved-campground conditions interact with the general occupancy definition rather than applying a home-parking answer to a licensed campground.
What does this say about unoccupied storage?
The occupancy FAQ does not settle where an unoccupied RV may be stored, front-yard parking, street parking or loading. Those need a parcel-specific answer. A storage space is not accommodation.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Cherokee County planning or code enforcement to confirm the exact address, zoning, vehicle class, placement and proposed use. Ask the responsible police or facility staff about public parking. Obtain the conditions of any approval in writing. Private covenants, leases, easements and utility approvals are separate.
Use the Cherokee County parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
