RV parking rules in Florence

Florence RV parking at a glance

A limited residential street exception

Section 73.14 starts with a public-road and right-of-way prohibition for covered commercial and recreational vehicles, occupied or not. Its residential exception lists personal-use motorhomes, trailer coaches, recreational trailers, truck campers, camping trailers and boat trailers for no more than 48 hours. Exactly 48 hours does not exceed this exception; other restrictions still apply.

Police notice starts a separate clock

Section 73.06 prohibits keeping a vehicle in the same public-right-of-way location more than 48 consecutive hours after a Police Department notice is placed conspicuously on it. The notice identifies the prohibition and possible removal under state law. Do not confuse this notice clock with the RV residential exception, and do not infer a movement/reset procedure.

Service, loading and breakdown exceptions differ

Section 73.14 also identifies active loading/unloading, immediate nearby utility/emergency/construction work up to 8 hours, breakdown repair or waiting for towing up to 2 hours, and public utility/emergency vehicles actively performing emergency duties. The checker leaves claimed exceptions unresolved rather than treating ordinary storage as active service.

Home storage is not the same as street parking

Section 93.026 requires a dust-free surface unless otherwise permitted. It describes rear-yard or side-of-residence storage, with the RV front no more than 15 feet beyond the house front plane and at least 5 feet from the front property line. Front-yard or driveway loading/unloading is limited to 48 hours. The checker does not approve a particular lot or resolve all placement requirements.

Utilities and living quarters have separate restrictions

Section 93.026(F) prohibits RVs on or adjacent to private property with utility connections, blocked and leveled, expanded sides or use as living quarters. The stated exceptions refer to RV-park/subdivision zoning and conditional-use approval in employment/commercial districts. Those zoning/permit qualifications require Town review; a short street stay does not authorize sleeping.

Signs and safe placement still matter

Section 73.01 includes sidewalks, driveway/alley entrances, intersections, crosswalks, red curbs and posted prohibitions, fire access and other locations. Necessity to avoid traffic conflict and official direction are exceptions requiring review. This checker is a limited RV-clock screen, not a full traffic or zoning determination.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm town boundaries, road jurisdiction, actual signs and notice timing with Florence Police. Ask Town planning/code compliance about home placement, utilities and zoning exceptions. Start with the Town Community Development page.

Use the Florence parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
