How many RVs can be stored at home?
Section 11-3-3 limits a residential lot to one RV or similar camper. This quantity rule does not settle the exact lawful parking pad.
What does dry storage mean?
Section 11-3-1 separates unused storage from a camping facility: no electricity and no skirting. Rodent and sun protection may be used.
Can guests sleep in a camper?
The residential exception covers a tent or camper for at most five days in any thirty-day period, with only one camping facility. Confirm unusual motorhome classifications rather than assuming the exception covers every design.
What about water and wastewater?
For that camping exception, city water is limited to actively filling tanks and must be disconnected immediately afterward. City wastewater connections and discharge to storm drains, streets or alleys are forbidden.
Can I camp on public or vacant land?
The chapter prohibits camping facilities on public rights-of-way, City property and vacant or unused lots. Its enforcement notice is not a camping grace period. Actual exceptional approvals require separate review.
What still needs a parcel check?
Confirm the actual residential lot, placement, floodplain requirements and current approvals. The chapter does not establish a general loading or repair window.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Hardin staff to confirm the exact location, vehicle, activity and any amendments or unresolved approvals. Private covenants remain separate.
Use the Hardin parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
