Coshocton RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage is an unoccupied rear-yard or garage route | Outside an approved trailer park, subsection(b) generally prohibits parking or occupying a trailer, but allows an unoccupied trailer in an accessory private garage or rear yard if no living quarters are maintained and no business conducted. A driveway is not automatically a rear yard. The checker uses an explicit scope confirmation for these trailer clauses instead of assuming every type of vehicle is interchangeable. |
| Temporary street stopping is capped at two hours | Emergency or temporary stopping/parking on a street, alley or highway is limited to two hours and remains subject to all further traffic and parking restrictions. Two hours is only a ceiling, not a universal curbside permit. Longer loading or overnight storage is not established by this exception. |
| Utility time and residential count are separate limits | Water or electricity connections may not exceed 48 hours in a seven-day period. Count connection time across that period rather than resetting the clock on each visit. No more than one trailer/RV may be stored on a residential lot. The utility ceiling does not authorize sewer service or sleeping. |
| Keep wheels and seasonal storage conditions in mind | Wheels cannot be removed except for repairs, and a trailer cannot be permanently fixed so it cannot be removed. A tent-type camper must be closed when stored. Off-season RV storage requires a cover extending at least halfway down the door. Whether a particular season or cover qualifies may need official confirmation. |
Confirm city limits and the defined trailer/RV
This guide covers the City of Coshocton, Ohio. Section 1149.03 defines recreational travel vehicles that are not used for profit or commerce and names travel trailers, motorhomes, truck campers and fifth-wheel trailers. The travel-trailer definition uses a 40-foot length excluding bumper and tongue/coupling. Confirm the applicable definition; commercial units and mobile homes need separate review.

Unlicensed or inoperable storage has an enclosed-building exception
A unit without a current registration plate or not in operating condition cannot remain parked/stored for more than one week unless it is within an enclosed building. The one-week condition does not excuse other placement rules. The cited section was amended by Ordinance 60-21 on December 13,2021; the latest overview reports legislation through August 3,2026. Confirm later changes and parcel-specific requirements.
