RV parking rules in Lehi

Lehi RV parking at a glance

Can an RV park on a Lehi street?

Section 7-1-2(B) limits motorhomes, campers, boats and trailers, attached or detached, to loading or unloading for no more than 12 hours. An empty vehicle left overnight is not loading. Confirm the separate exceptions for actual deliveries, public utilities or work before relying on them.

What changes at 16,000 pounds?

Section 7-1-2(A) adds residential-zone controls for vehicles with gross weight of 16,000 pounds or more. They cannot use the street for loading when usable off-street space exists. Vehicles normally carrying the listed hazardous substances face stricter controls even when empty. The 12-hour RV route does not remove these qualifiers.

Does the loading window apply during snow restrictions?

No loading exemption was established. Current section 7-1-1(E) restricts all street parking during a snowstorm, within 48 hours after its end, or with at least one inch of snow or ice on the traveled way. The Mayor or designee may extend the restriction. Older City newsletter wording used 24 hours and a seasonal overnight schedule; use the newer operative code and current alerts.

Can visitors sleep in an RV at a Lehi home?

Development Code 12.020(G) provides a temporary traveling-guest route on a lot in a single-family residential or agricultural zone: park off the street, stay no more than 14 consecutive days and 30 total days in any calendar year, and do not access City sewer. Include earlier occupancy in the annual total. Council exceptions and approved RV parks need separate review.

Does the guest rule authorize any driveway or yard?

The guest provision does not approve a new parking pad or every storage layout. Section 12.020(A) also requires the district, bulk, parking and site requirements to be met. Confirm the exact approved surface, vehicle footprint, access and required spaces with Planning. Empty home storage therefore remains a parcel-specific check.

Can the RV become an extra dwelling?

Section 12.020(G) generally prohibits temporary and permanent residential use of trailers except its listed routes. A traveling visit is distinct from moving into the RV. City sewer access is expressly prohibited for the guest route; water, power and alternative wastewater arrangements still need their own review.

Who to contact for your setup

For the unresolved home-storage layout or a proposed traveling-guest stay, ask Lehi Planning & Zoning through the City contact directory at 385-201-1000. Provide the address, zoning, complete parking footprint and access, proposed guest dates and earlier occupancy this calendar year. Ask the City to distinguish empty storage from the guest-use route and to identify the applicable parcel approvals. This question route is not a permit, a street-loading exception or approval for sewer or other utility connections.

Bring the address, vehicle type, dates and site sketch to the local planning or parking authority. Confirm boundaries and property-specific approvals before relying on an exception.

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