Jurisdiction and research scope
Town of Felton, Delaware municipal limits only, not surrounding unincorporated county land or another municipality. A mailing address is not a boundary determination. Official adopted replacement Title 8 Article 1, second reading January 13, 2014. PDF includes signed adoption certification, but handwritten certification date is not reliably machine-readable. Read November 6, 2026. The online source does not state a complete code amendment cutoff.

Felton RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The oversized-street ordinance does not decide private storage. Confirm parcel setbacks, surface, access, easements and private restrictions separately. |
| Street / loading | Oversized street parking prohibited beyond five minutes absent an exception. Active loading/unloading exception. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Permit does not expressly authorize sleeping. A parking allowance does not itself authorize utility connections. |
Which vehicles and sites are covered
Oversized means over 21 feet 6 inches long, over eight feet wide, or three or more axles. Parking means stopping, standing or leaving the vehicle for more than five minutes. Street includes the entire public right-of-way and public lots or open spaces belonging to or supervised by the town.
Visitor permit and loading
Active loading/unloading is excepted. An RV owner who neither owns nor rents property in Felton may obtain a permit for up to 72 hours after the town determines parking will not impede traffic. This is not a resident storage permit and the permit must come first.
US 13 and other limits
The ordinance separately excepts oversized parking on US Route 13 where specifically permitted by state law or DelDOT regulation. It also has official-service, emergency and town-sanctioned parade exceptions. Those routes need their own facts. Neither a visitor permit nor a brief stop establishes sleeping, private-yard storage or utility permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Felton Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Felton parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
