Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Hialeah, Florida only, not Hialeah Gardens, Miami or unincorporated Miami-Dade County. Ordinary residential RV parking under section 98-2200; a variance requires its own written approval. Adopted Ordinance 2024-013 amending section 98-2200; read November 6, 2026. The 2025 amendment trail concerns warning procedures, not a new parking permission; no warning period is treated as permission here.

Hialeah RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Side improved driveway up to 33 feet; front improved driveway up to 24 feet with clearance, orientation and remaining parking. Rear-yard route removed; no ordinary RV parking on duplex, zero-lot-line or multifamily property. |
| Street / loading | Residential private-property provision is not street-parking permission. No extended loading exception is established by the residential parking provision. |

Side and front driveway limits
An RV up to 33 feet may use an improved driveway in either side yard, at least three feet from the side property line. The amendment deletes the former rear-yard route. In the front yard, the limit is 24 feet, with sufficient vehicle parking remaining, at least three feet from front and side lines, and the RV perpendicular to the right-of-way on an improved driveway.
One RV and registration
Only one RV may be parked on a residential property. Plates and registration must be current and clearly visible from the street, and the owner must register it with the city and supply the required non-occupancy affidavit. It must belong to the property owner or a tenant with a current written lease; a specified close relative’s RV requires city allowance and relationship disclosure. Parking is prohibited on property developed as duplex, zero-lot-line or multifamily.
No residential sleeping or living
The parked RV must not be offered for third-party occupancy or used for living, sleeping, cooking, other life-sustaining activities or storage purposes covered by the ordinance. Water or sewer connections are barred except a flush-out lasting at most 30 minutes. Other utilities and maintenance need separate confirmation. Pre-existing owners may apply for a qualifying variance, but prior ownership or an application is not an issued variance; street rules are separate.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Hialeah 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 Hialeah parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
