Higginsville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Accessory recreational-equipment storage is listed for private-home driveways, but cannot obstruct sidewalks, protrude onto public property or consume required off-street parking. |
| yard | Private-home side and rear yards are listed storage locations; a front yard outside the driveway is not. |
| guest | Living or sleeping while stored on the premises may not exceed 14 days in a calendar year. A shorter stay is not blanket dwelling permission. |
| street | The home accessory-storage provision does not establish public-street parking permission. |
| loading | This checker does not turn a storage provision into a trip-loading time allowance. |
| hookups | Utility connections need separate review; the home-storage provision is not hookup permission. |
| uncertainty | Confirm a private-home accessory use, highway-licensed RV class, actual yard boundaries and which spaces are legally required for the home. |
Confirm a private-home accessory use
Section 410.310(A)(1)(k) concerns residential accessory storage. The activity must be subordinate to the principal residential use, and accessory uses remain subject to applicable district regulations. An RV park, vacant parcel or business storage site is not converted into a private-home accessory use by selecting a driveway in the checker.
Choose the actual storage position
The rule lists private garages, private-home driveways, and side or rear yards of private homes. A front-yard lawn area outside the driveway is not on that list. The checker covers outdoor driveway and yard choices; it does not assess a garage building or its permits.
Keep public property and sidewalks clear
No part of the stored vehicle or equipment may protrude onto public property or obstruct a sidewalk. Check the actual property boundary and walkway, not only the tire position. A driveway may cross a sidewalk even where the vehicle appears to fit behind the curb.
Preserve the home’s required parking
The same provision excludes storage within required off-street parking spaces. Space for the RV and space legally required for the home are separate questions. Ask City staff to identify the required spaces if the driveway plan does not make that clear; having spare physical area is not proof of compliance.
Count living and sleeping across the calendar year
An RV stored on the premises may not be used for living or sleeping for more than fourteen days in a calendar year. Count the accumulated year rather than restarting the allowance for every visit. The checker identifies an exceeded ceiling but does not approve ongoing residence or assume a shorter stay satisfies every use requirement.
Keep park rules separate
The same article contains separate RV-park use standards, including short-term occupancy and site-development requirements. Those are not a longer allowance at a private home. Likewise, a manufactured-home-park arrangement needs its own zoning and approval review rather than being evaluated as home storage.
Verify vehicle class and other restrictions
The recreation-vehicle definition lists highway-licensed travel trailers, pickup coaches, motorhomes and camping trailers. Converted or unlicensed units need classification review. Utility connections, private covenants and other site restrictions are not waived by meeting the narrow storage checks. The published current edition runs through September 28, 2026, with no known uncodified laws listed.
Who to contact for your setup
