Courtland Township RV parking at a glance

|---|---|
| Storage | Maximum three outdoor items, outside front and required side/rear yards. |
| Public parking or loading | Not evaluated. |
| Occupancy | No ordinary residential living or housekeeping. |
Outdoor placement
Section 2.31 excludes R-1 equipment from front yards and required side/rear setbacks. For the ordinary non-lakefront R-1 route, Section 5.04 requires ten feet on each side and fifty feet at the rear. Lakefront allowances are separate.
Three-item limit
At most three recreational-equipment items may remain outside a fully enclosed building. Multiple items carried in or on one trailer count as one item. Count boats and other recreational equipment, not just RVs.
Occupancy and exceptional sites
Living or housekeeping requires an approved campground. Physical site obstacles may support a Zoning Administrator permit, with its own setback and term; this checker does not determine that exception.
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. June 10, 2026 compilation is linked by the current Township zoning page. Other districts, lakefront exceptions and obstacle permits are not automated.
Use the Courtland Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
