Jurisdiction and research scope
Deerfield town, Rockingham County, New Hampshire: RV parking and temporary residential use on individual lots under §404 of the adopted 2026 zoning ordinance. The screen covers unoccupied parking, up to 60 occupancy days per twelve months, and the permitted additional thirty days. It does not decide floodplain, wetland, campground or manufactured-housing approvals.
Floodplain/wetland overlays, campgrounds, manufactured homes, permanent dwellings, nonconforming rights and individual variances need separate review. District-specific setbacks and current Board of Health rules must be confirmed for the actual lot; this screen does not compute them.
Administrative screening of the cited provisions only. This is not a permit, legal opinion, occupancy approval or complete zoning determination. Confirm the proposal with the municipality; other applicable laws, posted restrictions and private covenants remain separate.

Parking and placement
Section 404 permits RV parking only when it creates no health or safety hazard or nuisance. Placement must comply with current setbacks of the district where the lot lies. RV use must also meet the Board of Health regulations in force when placed. This is an individual-lot rule, not campground or floodplain authorization.
Temporary occupancy
An RV parked on the lot cannot be a permanent dwelling. Ordinary occupancy is limited to 60 days in a twelve-month period. At most one RV may be used as a temporary residence on a lot at any one time; this is an occupied-unit cap, not a general unoccupied-storage count.
Thirty-day extension
A further thirty days requires a permit from the Building Inspector before that extended use. The permit must include intended-use dates and information establishing town and state compliance. RVs already in use when the permit requirement was introduced are not exempt. The provision does not grant automatic or repeated thirty-day extensions.
