Cleves RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Loading directly outside the registered owner’s home | The RV loading or unloading exception applies directly in front of the registered owner’s residence. Being near a friend’s home or elsewhere along the street is not the same condition. The vehicle must be registered and licensed for road use. |
| The 48-hour loading boundary | The loading exception runs for at most 48 consecutive hours. Exactly 48 hours meets this time condition only; it does not override the required location, registration or safety conditions. Routine street storage is not converted into loading by remaining below the time limit. |
| Keep traffic clear and avoid safety hazards | The loading exception also requires that the RV not obstruct traffic or create a safety hazard. If either condition fails, that ordinary exception does not cover the placement. Separate signs, loading zones, narrow streets and other traffic restrictions still need review. |
| A written permit is not automatic | The Administrator or designee may issue a temporary written permit for good cause following a written request. The stated maximum is five consecutive days, no more than twice per calendar year for the same vehicle. Applying does not mean a permit has been issued, and this checker does not validate permit conditions. |
Can I leave my RV on a public street?
Section 76.15 generally prohibits parking or storing a locally defined recreational vehicle on a public roadway or right-of-way in the Village of Cleves, regardless of zoning. This checker covers only an ordinary RV route without a permit, emergency, commercial classification or another exception claim.
Loading directly outside the registered owner’s home
The RV loading or unloading exception applies directly in front of the registered owner’s residence. Being near a friend’s home or elsewhere along the street is not the same condition. The vehicle must be registered and licensed for road use.
The 48-hour loading boundary
The loading exception runs for at most 48 consecutive hours. Exactly 48 hours meets this time condition only; it does not override the required location, registration or safety conditions. Routine street storage is not converted into loading by remaining below the time limit.

The loading exception also requires that the RV not obstruct traffic or create a safety hazard. If either condition fails, that ordinary exception does not cover the placement. Separate signs, loading zones, narrow streets and other traffic restrictions still need review.
A written permit is not automatic
The Administrator or designee may issue a temporary written permit for good cause following a written request. The stated maximum is five consecutive days, no more than twice per calendar year for the same vehicle. Applying does not mean a permit has been issued, and this checker does not validate permit conditions.
Private parking and habitation are separate
This roadway rule does not establish driveway or yard permission, sleeping permission, or electricity, water or sewer approval. The village adopted a revised zoning code in June 2026; private-property proposals need that separate review. A towing provision is not a parking grace period.
Confirm the current local scope
The posted section incorporates Ordinance 23-2025, passed July 9, 2025. The adopted-law tables were reviewed through October 14, 2026, alongside the official 2026 ordinance folder. This narrow guide excludes private zoning, enforcement calculations and unresolved special exceptions; confirm later amendments with the village. The enacted ordinance and codified chapter use different exception cross-reference wording. Claims under another provision, disability-related parking, emergency directions, special locations or commercial-vehicle exceptions require individual review rather than a blanket result.
