RV parking rules in Crestwood

Crestwood RV parking at a glance

Where can I store a resident RV?

Section 14-167(b)(1) requires an enclosed area or an asphalt, concrete or paving-stone surface in a side or rear yard behind the front building line. A corner-lot side yard also counts as a front yard. A claimed grandfathered exception is reviewed separately.

How long can loading use the front driveway?

Section 14-167(b)(6) gives resident owners or lessees an ordinary loading/unloading allowance of 72 hours in any fourteen-day period. This is not an ongoing front-driveway storage permission.

What about seasonal preparation?

The code provides an additional and separate permit-based allowance of seven days, up to three times per calendar year, for listed seasonal preparation, de-winterizing, mid-season deep clean-out and storage activities. The checker sends these arrangements for permit-specific review instead of assuming a permit.

Why does the street result ask me to confirm?

The current code states 48 hours for resident licensed-RV street loading, whereas the City’s code-enforcement guidance says 72. We have not resolved the inconsistency. Ask the City which rule applies; do not use the longer time as permission.

Are visitors or boats treated the same?

No. Visitor RVs and visitor trailers/boats have separate permit-based provisions with a seven-days-per-calendar-year limit. Recreational trailers have a distinct attachment and street-timing rule. This checker is scoped to confirmed resident RVs, not every recreational object.

Does the old registration exemption still matter?

Section 14-167(c) describes qualifying owners and registrations by December 31, 2003, replacement-unit conditions and expiry on December 31, 2028. A claimed exemption needs City verification and does not automatically waive the entire section.

What was checked?

The published code includes legislation through September 8, 2026. The pending-law list has three October 13 entries unrelated to the RV provision. The official code-enforcement page conflicts with section 14-167(b)(4) on resident street loading: 72 hours in guidance versus 48 in the code. That discrepancy is explicitly unresolved in this checker. Front-driveway loading is separately addressed by section 14-167(b)(6); do not transfer its allowance onto the street.

Who to contact for your setup

Ask Crestwood officials to review the exact address, vehicle classification, intended activity and dates. Confirm zoning, permits, signs and private restrictions before relying on a parking arrangement.
