Owner-residence storage exception
Section 85-13B exempts storage of one unoccupied mobile home or travel trailer at premises occupied as that vehicle owner’s principal residence. It cannot be parked between the street line and the front building line. Confirm the vehicle meets the local classification in 85-2; generic RV names are not a substitute.

Storage is not occupancy
The exception requires the vehicle to remain unoccupied. Occupancy, parks, construction permits and agricultural arrangements have separate provisions under Chapter 85 and are not approved by this storage check. Enclosed storage has a separately worded exception and is also outside this outdoor-only route.

Other rules still matter
This is an exemption from Chapter 85, not full site approval. Section 85-15 preserves building, fire and other applicable requirements. The Town’s statement that it has no zoning does not remove its mobile-home/trailer, building, fire or traffic rules. Utility connections and public-street parking require separate review.

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. Only Chapter 85 outdoor-storage exemption is screened. No occupancy, utility, street, park, construction or enclosed-storage approval.
