Registered ownership and residence matter
Section 15.24.040 allows the registered owner to park or store a trailer on property where that owner resides. The chapter uses trailer to include motorhomes, park trailers, campers and travel trailers under the referenced state definitions. This checker covers unoccupied storage under that exception.
Guest stays are not permanent residence
Section 15.24.050 allows temporary residence for no longer than 14 consecutive days while visiting a city resident, without business activity in the unit. This guide does not infer a reset period or approve a particular guest site. Trailer parks and commercial-zone arrangements require separate review.
Utilities and disposal are constrained
Permanent utility connections are prohibited. The chapter allows existing metered water or electric connections for moisture or temperature control, not unrestricted habitation hookups. Wastewater must go to an authorized RV disposal site. Streets also require safe placement without traffic obstruction or intersection-visibility hazards.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Only unoccupied registered-owner residence storage; no guest, permanent utility, wastewater, park or street approval.
Use the Colfax parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
