Can I store an RV at my Jackson Township home?
Section 244-169 supplies an outdoor-storage route for RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, campers and small boats on single-family properties. The stored unit must be owned by the property owner, and the limit is one RV and one small boat. No front-yard storage is allowed.
The RV definition covers portable vehicular structures without a permanent foundation that can be towed, hauled or driven and are designed primarily for temporary recreational, camping or travel accommodation, including self-propelled motor homes.
What size and setbacks apply?
Subsection B says the RV or small boat must not exceed 35 feet long and eight feet wide. Subsection D requires units less than those dimensions to be outside the district’s required rear and side building setback lines. Ask zoning staff for the actual district lines.
The different boundary wording means a unit exactly 35 feet long or exactly eight feet wide should receive an official interpretation. Do not use the difference to ignore setbacks. A front yard includes the full width between the street and front setback line; on a corner lot, every street-facing yard is a front yard.
May guests sleep in the stored RV or connect utilities?
No under this storage route. Section 244-169E requires no occupancy and no utility connections, with no maintenance-hookup exception stated. This storage permission does not authorize a guest bedroom or ongoing dwelling.
Does the home-storage rule permit street parking or loading?
No street or loading permission follows from §244-169. Confirm traffic restrictions separately. Repairs, commercial-vehicle use, hazardous-materials vehicles and other special sites have separate rules; this guide does not decide them.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Jackson Township zoning staff about the parcel, legal yard boundaries, storage and occupied use. Ask Township Police about the exact street and activity. Confirm later ordinances, site approvals, utility permits and private restrictions separately.
Use the Jackson Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
