Measure from the right-of-way line
Section 1243.08 prohibits RV storage within 25 feet of the street right-of-way line for more than 72 continuous hours, unless the Chief of Police grants a written permit. The right-of-way line is not necessarily the pavement edge or curb.
A permit is a separate route
If the proposed storage exceeds the stated distance-and-time restriction, ask the police office about the written permit before relying on an exception. This checker does not issue permits or decide their conditions.
What this storage check does not decide
A position at least 25 feet from the right-of-way, or storage lasting no more than 72 continuous hours, is not automatically lawful. Confirm the legal line, local vehicle classification, other zoning restrictions and access. Street parking, sleeping and utility connections are separate questions. The source is the published 2026 S-12 code, citing Ordinance 182 of May 12, 1998.
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 the section 1243.08 restriction is evaluated, not overall legality. The City and Township are distinct jurisdictions.
Use the Hart parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
