Collierville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Front drive is restricted when between facade and street. Side/rear route subject to other conditions. |
| Public parking / loading | Street parking separately reviewed. Actual loading/unloading no more than 24 hours. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Residential living, sleeping and housekeeping prohibited under this clause. Separate approval required. |
Which vehicles are covered?
The major-equipment provision in §151.025 covers vehicles over eight feet tall, 20 feet long or 8,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, and separately lists RVs, boats, motorhomes, campers, travel trailers and other equipment regardless of size. A small RV is not exempt simply because it falls below the dimensions.
Where may the equipment be stored?
On a residential-district lot, covered equipment cannot be parked or stored between the dwelling’s front facade and the street. Side or rear placement is recognized, subject to other applicable requirements. A paved front driveway is still between the facade and street.
How long can loading take?
The exception allows parking anywhere on residential premises for no more than 24 hours during loading or unloading. It is an activity-limited exception, not a recurring 24-hour storage permission.
Can someone sleep in a stored RV?
The section prohibits living, sleeping or housekeeping in this equipment on a residential lot or another location not approved for that use. Side-yard storage does not authorize accommodation, and street parking or utility service requires a separate determination.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Collierville 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 Collierville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
