Fort Plain RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Unoccupied storage not evaluated. |
| Public parking or loading | General street-parking restrictions not evaluated. |
| Occupancy | Outside licensed trailer courts: no more than 15 occupied days in a consecutive six-month period. |
Count all occupied days in the period
Section 170-1 prohibits parking a trailer or RV used for living or sleeping for more than 15 days within a consecutive six-month period, except in a duly licensed trailer court. This is not a new allowance for each visit or a calendar-half-year reset.
Sanitation still applies
Section 170-2 makes owners or occupants responsible for compliance with village sewage and solid-waste regulations whenever the trailer or RV is parked in the village. A short stay does not waive those rules or grant permission to connect utilities.
Before arranging a stay
Confirm village boundaries, whether the location is a duly licensed trailer court, and the total occupied parking time within the relevant consecutive six months. A stay within 15 days still requires other zoning and parking compliance. Unoccupied storage and street restrictions are not settled by this occupied-parking rule.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No positive stay approval. The source lists one uncodified fees amendment affecting chapter A196, not chapter170.
Use the Fort Plain parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
