Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Lebanon, Indiana only, not Lebanon in another state or unincorporated Boone County. Official adopted-version UDO filename identifies February 27, 2024; reviewed excerpt is Chapter 5, printed page 7. The city’s Parking Guidelines are undated and broader than the older 2021 S-3 traffic-code wording. Later amendments and the full current storage conditions must be confirmed. Reviewed November 6, 2026. The source edition is not a certification of all later amendments. Confirm the exact parcel, current zoning, private restrictions and road authority before relying on a parking arrangement.

Lebanon RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard storage | Paved behind/alongside principal building; no front-façade projection. Retain mobility and stay outside required setbacks; full current conditions need confirmation. |
| Street / loading | Official city guidance prohibits RV/camper/trailer street parking. Confirm a current RV exception; do not infer one from general freight language. |
| Sleeping / hookups | The cited provision does not establish permission for this use; confirm the separate land-use or traffic rules. Parking permission does not establish utility-connection approval. |
Do not rely on the twenty-foot wording alone
The older codified §72.07 bars street parking of house trailers and motorized house cruisers with overall length of twenty feet or more. The city’s parking leaflet states a broader street prohibition for boats, trailers, campers and RVs. Do not infer that an RV under twenty feet is permitted from the older sentence.
Private storage position
The official adopted-version UDO excerpt requires owner parking on a paved surface behind or alongside the principal building, without extending past the front façade or into a side setback. Wheels must stay in place except for repairs, and the vehicle cannot be fixed to the ground so it is no longer readily removable.
Loading, sleeping and full site approval
The excerpt also prohibits right-of-way storage and describes required-yard storage restrictions. It is not a complete current authorization for a driveway, loading stay, guest sleeping or utility connection. Ask Planning for the full current RV subsection and Police about any claimed loading exception before relying on one.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Lebanon Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm the governing parcel, district, vehicle classification, exact position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions and the building or health official about utilities and occupied use. Private covenants, leases and easements remain separate.
Use the Lebanon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
