Havelock RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard storage | At least 20 feet from street edge/curb on a residential lot. |
| Loading / unloading | Up to eight hours anywhere on residential premises during loading/unloading. |
| Sleeping / dwelling | Unpaid out-of-town guests, up to 14 continuous days; electrical-only hookups. |
How far from the street?
RVs may be parked/stored on residential lots 20 feet from the street edge or curb. Measure from that named reference, not from a sidewalk, house or guessed property line. Driveway RV parking is treated as an accessory use, but this does not dispense with the placement requirement.
What is the loading exception?
During loading/unloading an RV may be anywhere on the residential premises for no more than eight hours. This is a private-premises exception and does not authorize parking in a street or blocking access. A longer stay needs the ordinary placement rule; it is not automatically prohibited if correctly placed.
May visiting guests stay in the RV?
The code generally bars living, sleeping or housekeeping on residential lots or other unapproved sites, but allows out-of-town guests without a fee for up to 14 continuous days. Utility hookups are limited to electrical. Resident occupation, paid lodging or a longer visit does not satisfy that exception.
What about a disaster or permanent dwelling?
The subsection does not apply to temporary housing allowed after a disaster declaration. That is a separate approval path, not a reason to treat ordinary storage as housing. Ask Havelock about the applicable declaration and authorization before relying on it.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Havelock Planning or Zoning staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle class, exact parking position, duration, intended use and any later ordinance or special approval. Ask the local traffic authority about a public street. HOA rules, leases, easements and utility approvals remain separate.
Use the Havelock parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
