RV parking rules in Horicon

Horicon RV parking at a glance

Read the RV rule together with its actual placement cross-reference

Horicon Section 600-69 applies selected private RV storage rules in residential and commercial districts, and B(1) specifically refers to 600-18F(5). This guide reads that companion rather than importing a neighboring city’s five-foot/conditional-driveway wording. The local travel-trailer definition has the ten-to-thirty-six-foot and eight-foot dimensions; those dimensions do not automatically limit every motorhome class.

Outdoor counts are three total and one in a side yard

Section 600-18F(5)(a) describes side/rear outdoor storage of no more than three total listed items, including an ice-fishing building, camp trailer/camper, utility tractor, boat or other RV. Only one item may be stored in a side yard, and ordinary front-yard storage is excluded. Section 600-18G(6) provides a separate conditional-use possibility; an actual approval must be reviewed rather than presumed.

The storage definition matters around seventy-two hours

Section 600-18F(5)(b) addresses front/side placement for purposes other than overnight parking beyond three days (72 hours), and separately describes remaining there for more than three consecutive days without removal. Short stays and overnight-only or disputed cases are not declared lawful: the selected checker requires confirmation that the ordinary storage definition applies before applying its count/front-yard restrictions.

Keep the body fifteen feet from curbs and clear public areas

Section 600-69B(2) measures at least fifteen feet from any curb face to the RV or boat body. B(3) prohibits any part extending over the public sidewalk or right-of-way. These are separate from the number of items or whether a driveway lies in a particular yard.

Resident ownership and contents are not optional

B(6) requires the recreational vehicle or boat to be owned by the resident whose property stores it. B(4)(c) limits contents to items considered part of the unit or essential for immediate use. Neither provision is replaced by a generic assertion that the landowner permits a guest’s unit.

Sleeping is fourteen annual days, without cooking

B(4)(a) limits the dwelling-use exception to overnight sleeping for at most fourteen days in a calendar year. Cooking is not permitted under that ordinary storage provision. Matching the day total is not complete accommodation approval or a new allowance for permanent residence.

Permanent utilities and active loading are distinct

B(4)(b) prohibits permanent sewer, water or electricity connections, while temporary electricity for charging batteries and other purposes is separately addressed. B(5) permits active loading/unloading anywhere on the premises with necessary electricity or propane. The checker excludes that active route before applying ordinary yard/count restrictions and does not infer permanence from the shared utility checkbox.

Currentness and what remains to confirm

The official enacted-law listing was checked and reports no known new laws. This is bounded evidence from the published code and index, not a guarantee about unposted legislation. Confirm the exact district, overlays, storage definition, driveway yard location and any conditional-use approval. Streets, enclosed structures and complete site permission remain separate.
