Concordia RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|

| Designated route | Only active loading/unloading is excepted from the route prohibition. |
| Unattached trailer | Specific City permission required for the listed exceptions. |
| Private driveway or yard | Not decided by the selected street rules. |
| Overnight occupancy | Not approved by a street-parking threshold. |
Start with attachment, the street and the full stay
Concordia’s Article 7 regulates trailers and recreational vehicles on public streets. An attached trailer or self-propelled camper is subject to a 72-hour limit, intersection separation and traffic-visibility requirements. A space that looks large enough is not necessarily a lawful place to leave an RV. Check the exact address and whether the street is one of the specially restricted routes before relying on the general time limit.
Can you leave a trailer detached at the kerb?
Section 19-701(a) generally prohibits an unattached trailer on a public street or right-of-way. The City may permit specified community-event activities, demolition or construction requiring an unattached work trailer, or loading/unloading where the City determines that keeping it connected would create unnecessary congestion or a public safety hazard. These are City-permission routes, not automatic exceptions. The checker leaves a claimed permission for individual review instead of assuming it waives every other condition.
The street limit is 72 hours, not a resettable allowance
Sections 19-701(b) and (c) prohibit street parking beyond 72 hours for the covered trailers and recreational vehicles. Exactly 72 hours does not exceed that selected threshold, but other restrictions still apply. Section 19-701(d) specifically prevents moving a trailer a short distance around the property to restart the clock. Record the full stay rather than only the time since the latest nearby move; the guide does not invent a lawful reset distance or absence period.
Keep 100 feet from intersecting curb lines and protect sight lines
The street provisions require at least 100 feet from an intersecting street, measured from the intersecting curb lines of the two streets. They separately prohibit a position that obscures a driver’s view of approaching traffic. A measured 100 feet clears only that distance threshold; it is not permission to block a sight line, ignore signs or obstruct access. Ask the City how to measure an unclear layout before parking.
Eleven designated routes have a stricter rule
Section 19-702 prohibits the listed campers, recreational vehicles and trailer combinations from parking on these routes except while actively loading or unloading:
- Second Street: Cedar to Valley
- Valley: Second to Sixth Street
- Cedar: Second to Sixth Street
- Sixth Street: Second Avenue to Doster
- Cedar: Sixth to Eighteenth Street
- Archer: Sixth to Eighteenth Street
- Eighteenth Street: Archer to Cedar Street
- Eleventh Street: east city limits to west city limits
- State Street: Eighteenth to Campus Drive
- Campus Drive: State to Republican
- College Drive
Do not assume the general 72-hour provision allows an ordinary stop here. The loading exception does not expressly cancel the attachment, time, distance or visibility rules. Merely preparing for a trip or leaving equipment unattended does not establish active loading.
A street rule does not decide driveway storage or overnight use
These selected provisions do not establish permission to store an RV in a driveway, side yard or rear yard, connect utilities, or sleep in it. Those arrangements require applicable zoning, site and use checks. Nor does meeting the selected street thresholds approve sleeping at the kerb. The checker returns an unresolved result for those different questions rather than turning a gap in this screen into permission.
What was checked, and what to confirm with the City
The City website links this code, whose index states an edition through Ordinance 2026-3247 adopted August 19, 2026. The full Article 7 was reviewed on October 26, 2026 and cites Ordinance 2023-3204, also identified on the City’s legal-publications page. The comparison table and newer edition index are not fully synchronized; later meeting PDFs could not be retrieved. Later amendments are therefore not fully reconciled. Give the City the exact location, vehicle configuration, proposed dates and loading activity, and confirm current rules and posted restrictions.
Who to contact for your setup
