RV parking rules in Inman

Inman RV parking at a glance

Does your vehicle count?

Section 14-401 covers portable self-propelled or towed structures designed for short-term occupancy and highway travel without a special permit. It lists motor homes, converted buses, vans, camper/tents and travel trailers, but excludes pickup trucks with camper shells.

Loading is a short, specific exception

Section 14-404 describes a single camper or RV in a residential front yard or adjacent public street for loading or unloading, for no more than 48 hours. It is not a 48-hour general storage or camping allowance.

Guest visits use the front driveway

A visiting guest may park an RV or camper on the front driveway for up to five days in a calendar month, subject to four conditions: no operating cooking appliances; discharge only into designed sanitary facilities; no permanent sewer, water or electrical hookups; and no unrelated goods storage. Temporary electrical connections still must comply with applicable rules.

Side yards require a resolution

Section 14-403 bars side-yard parking. Under 14-405, the governing body may grant a resolution after considering neighbors, safety/nuisance, written notice, dust-free surfacing, lack of reasonable rear access and screening. Those facts alone are not approval.

Rear yards and enclosed buildings

Section 14-403 describes parking unoccupied campers/RVs in enclosed buildings or rear yards. However,14-402 references 14-404 and 14-405 rather than 14-403. The guide preserves this drafting issue; ask the City how the location exception applies rather than assuming blanket permission.
