Fountain Hill RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street trailers | Ordinary parking prohibited on streets and alleys. |
| Front lawn | Motor-vehicle parking prohibited in the defined area. |
| Temporary living | One RV, at most 48 hours absent Council extension. |
Trailers on public streets
Section 304 bars construction trucks, full trailers, semitrailers, trailers, trucks and truck tractors from streets and alleys. A trailer is a vehicle designed for towing. The rule does not classify every motorhome as a truck; attachment alone does not remove a trailer from the ban.
Residential lawn areas
Motor vehicles cannot park on the area between a residential building and the street, excluding driveways, sidewalks and defined parking surfaces. This front-lawn definition is not a general permission to park on other yards or sidewalks.
Temporary living and exceptions
One RV may temporarily accommodate residents and/or visitors for at most 48 hours. Longer use requires Borough Council approval. Section 304 also lists vehicle and operational exceptions. The 2026 sidewalk amendment prohibits obstructions and does not expand RV parking rights.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact proposal with the municipal planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. School buses, emergency/public-utility vehicles, deliveries, qualifying commercial/industrial operations and construction-truck exceptions are not automatically decided. Council extensions, rentals, hookups and disputed street ownership require individual review.
Use the Fountain Hill parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
