Choose the local government governing your address. A street time limit does not establish sleeping permission. Each guide records source dates and unresolved questions.
Is a front driveway or short street stop available in your city?
- Council Bluffs front-setback storage: the City FAQ describes a fallback for one RV or boat when the specified side/rear space or access alternative is unavailable and enclosed storage is not possible. A preference for the front does not meet that test. Start with the fallback conditions, then check the guide’s hard-surface, orientation and public-access requirements.
- Ankeny trip loading: the listed RV, camper, boat and trailer restriction has an exception for the reasonable time necessary to load or unload. It does not give a motorhome a fixed two-hour stay. Read the actual loading conditions and which equipment the two-hour provisions concern.
Use your own jurisdiction’s row for the proposed location. If someone will stay inside, switch to the occupied-use and source-limit comparison. A storage fallback or loading exception does not settle that separate use.
