Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Glasgow, Montana only, not surrounding unincorporated Valley County or another municipality. Current online Chapter 38 read November 6, 2026. Section 38-111 cites Ordinance 951 (September 8, 2015); residential vehicle restrictions cite Ordinance 947 (June 18, 2012). A later reported proposal was not used as operative law; confirm any uncodified changes.

Glasgow RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Private driveway requirements need a separate zoning determination. Street time limits do not establish private yard storage rights. |
| Street / loading | No camper/RV street or alley parking December 1–March 31; otherwise five-day ceiling with separate permit and district restrictions. Residential covered-vehicle exception: at most one hour, no ordinary overnight stay; marked material-loading zones: 30 minutes. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Street duration provisions do not establish sleeping permission. No utility authorization is established by the street chapter. |
Winter and the five-day ceiling
Section 38-111 prohibits campers, RVs and watercraft on any street or alley from December 1 through March 31. Outside that period the general maximum is five consecutive days. The Police Department can issue parking-extension permits for up to 14 consecutive days, but that duration provision does not expressly waive the winter prohibition.
Residential districts and loading
Sections 38-122 and 38-123 separately restrict trucks, buses, trailers and combinations on streets and alleys in residential or mobile-home zones. A narrow loading, unloading or service exception lasts no more than one hour and does not allow overnight parking except a bona fide emergency. Confirm how your RV is classified; a five-day clock does not override these district restrictions.
Signs, clearance and private property
Posted limits, curb position, hydrants, driveways and traffic clearance remain controlling. Marked loading zones allow actual material loading for at most 30 minutes. Routine roadway repairs are prohibited. The online signed-block overnight clause has unusual time wording, so follow signs and obtain Police clarification. These street rules do not authorize yard storage, sleeping or utility hookups.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Glasgow 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 Glasgow parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
