Jurisdiction and research scope
Grant County-governed zoning only; confirm the county/participating municipality authority and do not assume a Marion mailing address establishes county zoning. Official posted Zoning Ordinance §153.124(B), Ordinance 2-2000 §17.10, passed March 13, 2000. The RV pages carry a 2022 S-10 notation; the complete-through date is not established, and Area Planning warns of uncodified amendments. Reviewed November 6, 2026. The source edition is not a certification of all later amendments. Confirm the exact parcel, current zoning, private restrictions and road authority before relying on a parking arrangement.

Grant County RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard storage | Height/setback rules and structural restrictions apply. Over six feet: no required front/side setback unless in a qualifying structure. |
| Street / loading | The cited provision does not establish permission for this use; confirm the separate land-use or traffic rules. No distinct RV loading time allowance established. |
| Sleeping / hookups | Temporary occupancy at most ten days in six months. No hookups outside RV park except possible electrical freeze prevention during storage. |
Height and setbacks
For major recreational equipment in residential and rural districts, equipment over six feet high cannot occupy required front or side building setbacks unless in a garage, carport or other structure. Confirm district setbacks and the intended structure with Area Planning; a roof or tarp does not establish a lawful structure.
Temporary occupancy is limited
Ordinary stored equipment cannot be used for residential living or sleeping. The code separately permits temporary occupancy for no more than ten days in any six-month period. This is not a permanent-home route or a public-street rule.
Connections and attachments
Outside an RV park, the text prohibits utility, water, sewage and septic hookups. It allows an exception for an electrical extension to prevent freezing during storage. RVs cannot be attached to decks, porches, roofs, foundations, carports, storage units or other structures. The office warns that later amendments may not yet appear in the posted code.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Grant County Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm the governing parcel, district, vehicle classification, exact position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions and the building or health official about utilities and occupied use. Private covenants, leases and easements remain separate.
Use the Grant County parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
