Henrietta RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|

| Sleeping / utilities | Town Board permit required beyond 72 hours of occupied house-trailer placement; shorter stays are not automatically approved. Separate utility and wastewater approvals required. |
Use a lawful driveway or extension
Chapter 207 restricts residential vehicles to a driveway or driveway extension complying with chapter 240. Extensions are limited to trailers, boats, recreational vehicles and similar vehicles. The legal-vehicle requirement and approved driveway geometry still apply; this is not a lawn-parking allowance. Confirm the actual driveway or extension under chapter 240 before treating a paved patch as compliant.
Occupied trailers need a separate permit analysis
Chapter 257 defines house trailers broadly enough to include self-propelled house cars and other wheeled vehicles capable of living or sleeping use. Storing, parking or locating one for more than seventy-two hours while used for living or sleeping requires a Town Board permit. That threshold does not establish permission for a shorter stay or replace zoning, sanitation and other requirements. Two or more qualifying trailers may also meet the trailer-camp definition and require a separate permit.
Keep the vehicle and structure distinction
Removing wheels other than temporarily for repairs, permanent blocking, or enclosing the space beneath a trailer converts it into a permanent building or structure under the chapter. Dwelling requirements then apply and the Town Board permit is automatically revoked. Street parking, hookups, commercial property and emergency construction arrangements need their own approvals. An ordinary storage decision cannot clear occupied use or structural conversion.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Henrietta Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Henrietta parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
