Egelston Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Temporary dwelling use has a yearly total | Section 450-311 generally restricts dwelling use by the listed units and provides a temporary-dwelling exception totaling no more than 14 days in any one year. Exactly 14 days reaches, but does not exceed, that selected ceiling. More than 14 does not fit the ordinary exception. The guide does not redefine the code’s one-year wording as a calendar-year reset or an automatic new allowance after moving. |
| Running water must be available on the premises | The temporary-dwelling exception requires premises having running water. A checked utilities box, a portable tank or an intention to connect later is not automatically proof that this requirement is satisfied. Confirm actual facilities and other applicable requirements. |
| Sewage facilities are an independent requirement | The same exception also requires sewage facilities. Running water alone does not satisfy both requirements. This guide does not approve a specific disposal method or establish permission to discharge wastewater. |
| Licensed travel-trailer camps are a separate route | Section 450-311 separately addresses automobile trailers and travel trailers occupied within duly licensed travel-trailer camps, subject to the requirements imposed there. The ordinary 14-day checker excludes that route instead of applying an unsupported blanket campground stay limit. |
Identify the township and the actual unit
Egelston Township is in Muskegon County, Michigan. Confirm the address is governed by the township. Section 450-311 has a broad heading but its operative sentence lists tents, trailers, travel trailers and automobile trailers. The selected checker requires confirmation of the trailer classification rather than silently expanding the text to every motor home.
Temporary dwelling use has a yearly total
Section 450-311 generally restricts dwelling use by the listed units and provides a temporary-dwelling exception totaling no more than 14 days in any one year. Exactly 14 days reaches, but does not exceed, that selected ceiling. More than 14 does not fit the ordinary exception. The guide does not redefine the code’s one-year wording as a calendar-year reset or an automatic new allowance after moving.
Running water must be available on the premises
The temporary-dwelling exception requires premises having running water. A checked utilities box, a portable tank or an intention to connect later is not automatically proof that this requirement is satisfied. Confirm actual facilities and other applicable requirements.
Sewage facilities are an independent requirement
The same exception also requires sewage facilities. Running water alone does not satisfy both requirements. This guide does not approve a specific disposal method or establish permission to discharge wastewater.
Licensed travel-trailer camps are a separate route
Section 450-311 separately addresses automobile trailers and travel trailers occupied within duly licensed travel-trailer camps, subject to the requirements imposed there. The ordinary 14-day checker excludes that route instead of applying an unsupported blanket campground stay limit.
A mobile-home construction permit is not an RV permit
Section 450-313 provides a distinct mobile-home temporary-permit process. Subsection H says no temporary occupancy permit under that process shall be issued for a travel trailer, camper or other RV. Do not use a mobile-home construction exception to extend an ordinary RV stay.
Storage is different from dwelling use
Section 450-314 describes storage of currently licensed, family- or occupant-owned vehicles, travel trailers, campers and similar vehicles in running condition, subject to compatibility with permitted district uses. It separately limits unlicensed vehicles and race cars at dwellings in R-1 through R-5 and restricts their outdoor storage to rear yards unless the enclosed-building provision applies. Those distinct provisions are not converted into unrestricted RV parking permission.
What the later-law review established
The current code edition includes legislation through May 7, 2026. The actual two-item laws list was checked: Ordinance 2026-2 changes the shed definition, while the other posted document is a weeds provision adopted in 2010. Neither is treated as an RV-rule amendment. The municipal documents page links the code. This bounded review does not rule out unlisted later enactments or parcel-specific conditions.
