Town of Hillsville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway and yard | A driveway within any legal front yard counts toward the annual rule. Residential front-yard storage: no more than 30 days per calendar year; every corner/double frontage matters. |
| Street and loading | No street time allowance from the front-yard provision. No separate RV loading reset or exception established in §171-43(F). |
| Sleeping and utilities | No guest sleeping or residence permission from the yard rule. Utility permission not established. |
Is the limit 30 days per visit?
No. Section 171-43(F) says no major recreational equipment may be permanently parked or stored in a residential front yard for more than 30 days in one calendar year. Include earlier front-yard time in that year; moving the equipment for a short period does not create a new annual allowance.
How do corner lots and driveways count?
Section 171-43(H) requires a front yard along each frontage of a corner or double-frontage lot. An area that looks like a side yard can therefore be a legal front yard. Driveway paving does not remove that classification. Section 171-43(C) permits yard parking subject to other provisions and adds a ten-foot street-line restriction for parking accessory to uses other than a single- or two-family dwelling.
Which equipment and other uses matter?
The §171-8 definition includes boats and trailers, travel trailers, tent trailers, pickup campers or coaches, motorized dwellings and similar equipment. Safe servicing/fire/parking access and applicable corner visibility must remain. The annual yard rule does not provide street parking, sleeping, living or utility-connection permission.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Town of Hillsville zoning staff about the parcel, district, equipment, placement, duration and proposed use. For roads, ask the local traffic or police authority. Confirm later amendments and any site-specific approval. HOA covenants, leases and easements are separate.
Use the Town of Hillsville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
