Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Florence corporate limits only, not all Boone County or a Florence mailing address. Section 70.05 was read in 2025 S-31; the code cover reports local ordinances through December 17, 2024. Complete zoning and later uncodified enactments were not reconciled.

Which RV classes does Florence name?
Section 70.05(A) defines an RV as a vehicular unit primarily designed for temporary recreational, camping or travel living quarters, self-propelled or carried/towed. It separately describes camping trailers, motorhomes, travel trailers and truck campers. Confirm that design and configuration.
Can an RV remain in the street overnight or briefly?
Subsection B prohibits the listed vehicles on city streets and public rights-of-way at any time. The RV restriction is not an overnight-only rule and does not depend on a generic abandoned-vehicle clock.
Is loading an RV the same as the service-truck exception?
The stated exception concerns delivery or service trucks while actually making a delivery or rendering service. A motorhome or travel trailer does not receive that exception just because an owner is packing it. Actual qualifying truck service needs its own classification and activity review.
Does the rule cover every cargo trailer?
The RV classes and freight trailer definitions differ. The examined freight-trailer definition uses an intended capacity over 1,000 pounds. Exactly 1,000 pounds does not satisfy that specific greater-than test; this is not permission under other classifications or laws.
What about a private driveway or yard?
The verified §70.05 street rule does not independently settle home storage. Establish the legal parcel, zoning, parking area, access and vehicle class with the City before relying on a private-property arrangement.
Can guests sleep in the parked camper?
A street parking prohibition still applies to a parked RV when the purpose is sleeping. A private-property sleeping, residence, repair or utility arrangement needs separate land-use and service approval; this guide establishes none from the curb rule.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Florence about the exact legal parcel, any overlapping government, actual vehicle design, full stay and activity. Bring the site plan and any issued permit, and retain the written answer.
Use the Florence parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
