Jurisdiction and research scope
Granite Shoals City only: ordinary residential RV storage, the City Manager’s short temporary-placement route, and the public-street prohibition in §40-29. Construction accommodation, waterfront exceptions, grandfathered placements, RV parks, sales sites and emergency approvals require separate review.
Administrative screening of the cited local provisions only. Not a permit, legal opinion, safety assurance or complete parking, zoning, utility or land-use approval. Confirm the parcel and any required approvals with the municipality.

Residential storage exception
The RV owner must live in a house on the same or an adjoining lot. No more than one RV may be on the lot and adjoining lots; ordinary storage must be in a side yard, back yard or adjoining lot rather than the front yard or driveway. Waterfront-impossibility and existing-location cases need individual review. Home electricity, open doors/windows and slide-outs are expressly addressed for preparation, maintenance or cleaning.
Temporary placement: approval and 15 days in 30
A signed written property-owner request must specify a period of no more than 15 days in a 30-day period and explain utilities, including sewage disposal when applicable. A site plan and visible approval are required. City registration/inspection documentation, side setbacks and an unrevoked City Manager approval remain necessary. Worker housing is not permitted under this temporary-use route. Construction accommodation has a separate building-permit and progress-review route excluded here.
Locations, rental and long-term uses
The baseline rule requires a permit for placement longer than 24 hours unless an exception applies; it is not a blanket 24-hour parking entitlement. Public streets, public rights-of-way, front lawns and traffic-visibility obstruction are prohibited absent a necessary emergency/catastrophe and City Manager approval. Permanent goods-container use and permanent, continual or long-term residential occupancy are prohibited. Residential rental outside an approved RV park and RV short-term rentals are prohibited. Temporary permits can be withheld or revoked for safety.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the municipality’s zoning or code official to confirm the parcel, current law, classification, applicable site standards and any required approval before acting.
