RV parking rules in Kent Town

Kent Town RV parking at a glance

Occupied lots and the one-RV limit

Section 77-44 prohibits RV, trailer and boat storage or parking on vacant lots in residential districts. On an occupied residential lot, subsection A permits storage of one RV, but does not permit using it for any purpose. The rule includes motorhomes, travel trailers, tent campers and similar self-propelled or towable units.

Required yards and approved driveways

The RV may not be stored in a required yard or between the street line and principal building, except within an approved driveway. Confirm the actual district, lot boundaries, required yards and driveway approval. The checker uses a conservative route outside required yards; an approved driveway is required if the RV is in front of the principal building. A driveway does not itself establish compliance with unrelated zoning provisions.

Use and special trailer permits

Storage permission is not sleeping, living or other-use permission. Subsection B separately lets the Building Inspector authorize necessary construction trailers after a building permit, for up to one year, with successive six-month extensions when diligent construction and justification are found. Such a trailer may be occupied during its permit term on the construction lot. These discretionary construction permissions are not ordinary RV guest permits. Boats over 22 feet have a separate one-per-dwelling-unit rule and placement conditions; they are not counted as an additional ordinary RV allowance.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm the parcel, classification, permits and other applicable restrictions with municipal planning or police staff before relying on this limited guide. Private restrictions may be stricter.

Use the Kent Town parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
