RV parking rules in Kimberly

Kimberly RV parking at a glance

Confirm the village, district and actual RV class

This guide concerns Kimberly Village, Wisconsin. Section 525-66 lists motorhomes, camping trailers, pickup coaches, converted vans and other categories. The ten-to-thirty-six-foot length and eight-foot width limits belong specifically to its travel-trailer definition. The selected checker covers ordinary outdoor RV storage in confirmed residential or commercial districts, not every vehicle or parcel.

Keep the RV body fifteen feet from curbs

Section 525-66B(1) measures at least fifteen feet from the face of any curb to the RV body. B(2) separately prohibits any part extending over the public sidewalk or right-of-way. A satisfactory wheel position alone does not establish either condition.

Ownership may belong to the occupying resident or entity

Section 525-66B(5) permits ownership by the resident or entity occupying the property. B(6) requires the stored RV to be accessory and incidental to the principal use. The guide does not replace the occupying-entity alternative with a resident-only restriction or treat a separate commercial storage operation as incidental.

Keep the RV roadworthy and its contents related

Section 525-66B(7) requires safe and legal public-road performance with current license and registration. B(3)(c) prohibits unrelated stored goods, materials or equipment, apart from items belonging to the unit or essential for immediate use. A licensed but unusable unit does not meet the condition merely because its plate is current.

One- and two-family front-yard parking has a wheel-position rule

Section 525-65 was amended September 22, 2025. Its parking provision requires every vehicle wheel in the front yard to be on a residential driveway surface. A separate front-yard parking pad is prohibited. The driveway/parking-pad surface provision specifies concrete, asphalt, brick pavers or an approved permeable hard surface, and expressly prohibits gravel; do not import a generic gravel-driveway permission from another municipality.

Side and rear placement is not a copied five-foot RV rule

Section 525-65D permits parking off a hard-surfaced driveway or pad in side or rear yards if it creates no nuisance and the vehicle remains roadworthy, including licensed, registered, operable and in good repair. The current RV subsection does not supply the five-foot setback and conditional gravel-driveway wording found in some other Wisconsin codes. Other driveway-design, zoning and site requirements still need review; the checker does not approve an installation.

Sleeping is limited and cooking is excluded

Section 525-66B(3)(a) limits overnight sleeping to fourteen days per calendar year as an exception to dwelling use, and does not permit cooking. Meeting that particular annual threshold is not a campground or accommodation approval. The selected checker distinguishes sleeping from general residence.

Permanent connections and active loading follow different rules

Section 525-66B(3)(b) prohibits permanent sewer, water and electricity connections while allowing temporary electricity for charging and other purposes. B(4) lets an RV use anywhere on the premises during active loading/unloading with necessary electricity or propane. The checker excludes that active route before applying ordinary storage conditions and does not use a shared utility checkbox to infer permanence.

Both later enacted originals were reviewed

The official later-law index lists two originals. Ordinance 10-2025 changes fire-inspection penalties and fees. Ordinance 5-2026 abolishes the municipal court effective May 1, 2027; that future court change is not represented as already effective. Neither rewrites the selected Chapter 525 RV storage and driveway provisions. Public streets, special approvals and other parcel requirements remain separate review routes.
