Jenkintown RV parking at a glance

|---|---|
| Storage | One vehicle up to 26 feet behind building front; permit beyond two weeks. |
| Public parking or loading | Street parking not determined here. |
| Occupancy | No living or housekeeping. |
Residential placement
Section 181-84 covers noncommercial vehicles owned or leased by the property owner or occupant. No more than one covered vehicle may remain outside a garage, and it must be behind the front face of the main building.
Size and permit
The length limit is 26 feet, excluding the trailer, hitch or towbar as stated in the code. Storage lasting more than two weeks requires an annual Borough permit and a prominently displayed sticker. Confirm how the Borough measures a particular combination.
Not living space
Living and housekeeping in the stored vehicle are excluded. A storage permit does not approve street parking, hookups or overnight habitation.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Confirm measurement of vehicle/trailer combinations and all parcel restrictions.
Use the Jenkintown parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
