Can guests sleep in an RV at a Greenfield home?
Section 200-49B(1) allows temporary occupation of a mobile home or camper by nonpaying guests of the premises owner for no more than two weeks in any calendar year, upon issuance of a permit by the Inspector of Buildings. Section 200-49C also requires compliance with local and state health, sanitation and building requirements.
Does the rule include my motorhome or trailer?
The camper definition in §200-2 covers a portable dwelling eligible for highway registration and insurance, designed for travel, recreation and vacations rather than permanent residence. It includes travel trailers, pickup campers, motorized campers and tent trailers. Confirm that the particular unit fits that definition.
What other temporary occupancy routes exist?
Section 200-49B separately covers a permitted construction office, a duly licensed campground with the licensing authority permit, and an owner-occupier whose residence was destroyed by fire or another natural disaster while rebuilding, for no more than 12 months. These are specific routes, not general guest extensions.
Can I live in the RV permanently or just store it?
Section 200-49A prohibits permanent residence. The temporary occupancy routes do not establish permission for unoccupied storage, ordinary street parking, repairs or utility installation. A lawful campground and the ordinary nonpaying-guest route have different requirements.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City of Greenfield zoning or building staff about the exact parcel, vehicle classification, approvals and later amendments. Ask police about the specific street and temporary restrictions. Check lease, HOA and deed restrictions separately.
Use the Greenfield parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
