Jurisdiction and research scope
Town of Irondequoit, Monroe County, New York only. The outdoor residential route applies in R-R, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5 and residential uses in R-6, not every parcel with an Irondequoit mailing address. Current Town Code §235-104, including April 18, 2023 Local Law 2-2023; read November 6, 2026. The codified year-round front-yard provision differs from the town FAQ’s older April–November summary.

Irondequoit RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | One RV may occupy a front driveway or other hard surface year-round, at least 4 feet from front and 3 feet from side property lines. One RV in one side yard with a 3-foot side setback; up to two in the rear with 4-foot side/rear setbacks and no more than 50% combined accessory-structure/RV rear-yard coverage. Two outdoor RVs maximum overall. |
| Street / loading | RV parking and storage on public highways or rights-of-way are prohibited. Trip preparation and loading are included in the code’s parking definition; that definition does not create a street exception. |
| Sleeping / utilities | No living or housekeeping use while on the premises. No fixed electricity, water, gas or sanitary connections. |
Year-round front driveway storage
The 2023 amendment allows one RV in a front driveway or other hard-surfaced parking area throughout the calendar year. Measure four feet from every front property line and three feet from side lines. An older town FAQ describes a seasonal window; it does not match the amended code.
Side yards, rear yards and garages
One RV may use one side yard at least three feet from the side line. Up to two can occupy the rear yard with four-foot side and rear setbacks; accessory structures and RVs together cannot cover more than half the rear yard. No more than two outdoor RVs are allowed on the premises. Stored RVs must belong to the occupant. Outside a garage, good repair, working condition and current plates or registration are required. Completely enclosed garage storage with doors shut has its own provision.
Public roads, sleeping and connections
The code prohibits RV parking or storage on public highways and rights-of-way. On the premises it prohibits living or housekeeping use and fixed utility connections. A trip-preparation parking definition is not permission for street loading, habitation or a hookup. Nonresidential districts require a separate special-use determination.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Irondequoit Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Irondequoit parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
