Private-property habitation

Section 90.05 prohibits RV habitation on private property outside a licensed mobile home park. Council approval can allow temporary RV occupancy for lot construction; this exception needs individual review.

Storage locations

In R-1, R-2 and RM districts, outdoor storage has location exceptions for approved driveways and areas outside required setbacks and the street-facing portion of the home. Approved enclosed buildings are another route. This checker does not determine storage placement.

Do not confuse exceptions

Public designated camping areas have separate treatment. The seven-consecutive-day and 14-annual-day sleeping provision applies to tents, treehouses and playhouses, not an ordinary private-lot RV stay. Unattended trailers need proper reflectors or safety hazard markers.

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. Private occupancy negative screen only; designated public camping and special approvals excluded.

Use the Granite Falls parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
