Genoa Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | The seven-day front-yard restriction does not apply to safely and lawfully parked equipment on a zoning-compliant driveway, pad or distinguishable impervious surface. Required front yards otherwise allow at most seven days per calendar year; residential-lot size and vehicle conditions also apply. |
| Street / loading | No public-street parking permission established by this zoning section. No separate loading exemption established. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No dwelling unit or business in residential/planned residential districts; occupation cannot exceed seven days per calendar year. Fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary sewer connections prohibited. |
Front-yard placement
Outdoor camping/recreational equipment, including trailers, may occupy a required front yard for at most seven days per calendar year. The limit does not apply when safely and lawfully parked on a zoning-compliant driveway, parking pad or impervious surface clearly distinct from landscaping.
Size and mobility
On the same lot as a single-family dwelling, vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVWR or 21 feet are restricted, with an exception for one RV no more than 15,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and 40 feet long. Keep transporting devices in place, except repairs for no more than seven days per calendar year, and do not permanently attach equipment to the ground.
Sleeping and utilities
Residential or planned residential districts prohibit maintaining a dwelling unit or business in the equipment. Occupation may not exceed seven days per calendar year, but that ceiling is not blanket approval of every shorter stay. Fixed electricity, water, gas and sanitary connections are prohibited. Street parking needs separate rules.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Genoa Township Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Genoa Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
