Independence Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| One home-site trailer | Section 361-2 allows one home-site trailer no longer than 30 feet. Its definition covers qualifying self-propelled and towable units, so the marketing name alone is insufficient. |
| No living or connections | The ordinary home-site trailer cannot be used for temporary or permanent living or connected to utilities or another building. Other specific occupied-trailer provisions require separate review. |
| Placement and exceptions | Place it as inconspicuously as possible, 65 feet from the road center and 30 feet from property lines. Existing lot size can affect the setback provision; this checker refers those cases for municipal interpretation rather than issuing an exemption. |
