Elk Grove Village RV parking at a glance

|---|---|

Measure the entire vehicle
Section 6-3-6-8 permits front-yard RV, tow-type vehicle and boat parking within residential districts only when overall length is no more than 25 feet, height no more than 8 feet and width no more than 9 feet. Length includes the trailer tongue and furthest projection of the trailer and vehicle being towed. Nothing may overhang or block a public sidewalk. The residential-lot maximum is one combined RV, tow-type vehicle or boat, not one of each.
Oversized vehicles have a different placement route
If any dimension exceeds its threshold, ordinary parking is limited to single-family residential districts: rear of the building, a garage, or a side yard that does not front a street and is behind the front building line. All other zoning parking conditions still apply. The front-building-line exception is limited to 96 total hours per month for loading, unloading, cleaning and maintenance. It is not 96 hours per visit or a street exception.
Keep the vehicle unoccupied and safe
Parked or stored vehicles cannot be occupied for living, sleeping or housekeeping. They cannot become an accessory structure or hold goods, materials or equipment unrelated to their intended purpose. Parking must avoid tipping, rolling and other unsafe conditions; the ground under and around the vehicle must be free of weeds, overgrowth, litter and debris. The checker requires separate confirmation of applicable zoning conditions and does not approve utility connections.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your exact address, vehicle class and proposed use with the municipal zoning or police office. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Elk Grove Village parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
