Jurisdiction and research scope
Fennville restricts public-street, highway and alley parking from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. during its November 15–April 1 season. Municipal parking lots have a separate year-round restriction and a limited passenger-vehicle permit scheme. This checker identifies a selected street prohibition only.

Fennville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| The street rule uses a 4–6 a.m. winter interval | Section 400-18(A) prohibits parking any vehicle on a public street, highway or alley within the City between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. from November 15 to April 1, except as otherwise provided in the article. The text does not require actual snow. The checker conservatively identifies the clearly interior dates November 16 through March 31 and asks whether parking during that portion overlaps 4–6 a.m. It leaves the exact November 15 and April 1 boundary dates for confirmation rather than inventing a midnight inclusion convention. |
| A municipal lot is not a winter-street workaround | Section 400-18(B) restricts municipal-lot parking during 4–6 a.m. throughout the year, except as otherwise provided. Section 400-19 allows a limited permit arrangement in designated areas of designated municipal lots. Permits are for individuals residing in or owning dwelling units in the Central Business District, require a City-approved application, and have twelve-month terms. Only motorized passenger vehicles with current City permits may park overnight in those designated portions. The checker does not assume an RV qualifies as a motorized passenger vehicle and does not route a street answer into a lot permit. |
| The permit scheme has its own 72-hour limit | Section 400-19(E) prohibits leaving a vehicle without movement in an overnight-permit space for more than 72 continuous hours. That is not a general street duration allowance or an RV camping authorization. Daytime parking may be regulated by City Administrator traffic control orders under § 400-18(C); signs and current orders still need checking. Sleeping, residence and hookups are separate questions. |
| Unknown means the selected prohibition has not been resolved | A confirmed in-scope street stay during the clearly interior winter dates and 4–6 a.m. yields prohibited. Outside that selected condition, or with missing facts, the result remains unknown. It does not mean allowed. Loading or maintenance selections are checked only as ordinary parking, not as an exemption. Private driveway/yard rules and permit eligibility are not inferred. |
Confirm the City and the public-street route
This guide covers the City of Fennville, Michigan, not a postal area or surrounding township. The checker is limited to ordinary parking of a confirmed self-propelled motorhome on a City public street or highway. It does not decide private storage, special official directions or disputed exemptions. An alley is described in the source but not automated here.

A municipal lot is not a winter-street workaround
Section 400-18(B) restricts municipal-lot parking during 4–6 a.m. throughout the year, except as otherwise provided. Section 400-19 allows a limited permit arrangement in designated areas of designated municipal lots. Permits are for individuals residing in or owning dwelling units in the Central Business District, require a City-approved application, and have twelve-month terms. Only motorized passenger vehicles with current City permits may park overnight in those designated portions. The checker does not assume an RV qualifies as a motorized passenger vehicle and does not route a street answer into a lot permit.
The permit scheme has its own 72-hour limit
Section 400-19(E) prohibits leaving a vehicle without movement in an overnight-permit space for more than 72 continuous hours. That is not a general street duration allowance or an RV camping authorization. Daytime parking may be regulated by City Administrator traffic control orders under § 400-18(C); signs and current orders still need checking. Sleeping, residence and hookups are separate questions.
Unknown means the selected prohibition has not been resolved
A confirmed in-scope street stay during the clearly interior winter dates and 4–6 a.m. yields prohibited. Outside that selected condition, or with missing facts, the result remains unknown. It does not mean allowed. Loading or maintenance selections are checked only as ordinary parking, not as an exemption. Private driveway/yard rules and permit eligibility are not inferred.
Source coverage and later laws
The code index reviewed October 30, 2026 reports legislation through August 18, 2025. The actual later-law list contains 2025-07 groundwater protection, 2026-01 short-term rental zoning changes, and 2026-02 water-system bonds. Their complete originals were reviewed; none amends the selected Chapter 400 parking article. The bond list has no adoption date, but the original certificate records August 3, 2026; no unverified publication date is invented. The groundwater law has separate substance rules, not a parking permission. Actual City notes concern administrative/source links rather than this parking article. Unposted changes remain possible; confirm current signs and official directions.
