Edmore RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Camping on village land is prohibited | Section 13 prohibits camping on a lot, street, park or area owned or maintained by the village. Section 1 includes using an RV as living quarters in the definition of camping. Village ownership or maintenance is an essential fact; the definition of street does not turn every privately owned way into village land. |
| Occupied street parking has a three-hour definition | Section 1 also treats RV parking on a street or in a municipal parking lot for three or more consecutive hours in a 24-hour period as camping, unless the RV was unoccupied for the entire parked period. Exactly three hours reaches that definition. The selected street check still requires confirmed village ownership or maintenance before applying section 13; parking below the threshold is not automatically legal. |
| Private-lot occupancy uses a seven-day total | Section 14 provides an exception for occupancy on a private lot for no more than 72 hours over a seven-day period. Exactly 72 hours meets that selected ceiling; more than 72 does not. June council minutes specifically explain why the amendment prevents leaving and immediately returning for another 72-hour stay. Other laws and the actual parcel remain relevant. |
| Unoccupied storage is only an ordinance-specific exception | Section 14 says this ordinance does not prohibit storage when the RV is not used for living or sleeping. This is not unrestricted storage permission. The later July 13, 2026 Blight Elimination Ordinance addresses inoperable vehicles and trailers, screening and other conditions; applicable zoning and other regulations still need review. |
Confirm the village and the actual location
Edmore is a village in Montcalm County, Michigan. Confirm village boundaries rather than relying on a mailing address. This guide uses the current 2026-1 RV ordinance, not the superseded assumption that each return starts a fresh 72-hour visit. The ordinary checker excludes licensed RV parks, existing-residence claims, lawful converted dwellings and separate approvals.

Unoccupied storage is only an ordinance-specific exception
Section 14 says this ordinance does not prohibit storage when the RV is not used for living or sleeping. This is not unrestricted storage permission. The later July 13, 2026 Blight Elimination Ordinance addresses inoperable vehicles and trailers, screening and other conditions; applicable zoning and other regulations still need review.
Permanent and converted dwellings need separate review
Section 12 addresses human habitation outside a licensed RV trailer park and expressly preserves an RV already used as a residence at the ordinance date. Removing transport equipment or affixing a unit to the ground introduces building-permit and dwelling-compliance requirements. The checker does not adjudicate those historical or converted-building rights.
RV parks are not ordinary guest parking
The ordinance defines an RV trailer park by two or more occupied RVs harbored on land, whether or not payment is collected. Park licensing, layout, water, sanitation and supervision provisions are separate from an ordinary visit. Do not assume free guest accommodation removes the need to check park classification.
Current sources and remaining uncertainty
The village publishes Ordinance 2026-1 with adoption and publication certification dated to the June 8, 2026 meeting. Its effectiveness provision uses passage and publication, not website upload time. June minutes record adoption; July adopted the separate 2026-2 blight ordinance. Bounded later-minutes review is not a guarantee that no unlisted enactment exists. Confirm current parcel requirements before relying on an exception.
