Confirm township zoning before applying storage rules
The township zoning ordinance identifies district boundaries using the unincorporated limits and assigns boundary disputes to the Zoning Board of Appeals. This guide is for a parcel confirmed under Lenox Township zoning, not an incorporated village or another Lenox municipality. Census township population is selection provenance, not a count of parcels governed by this guide.
A permanent dwelling, side/rear yard and setbacks are required
Section 719.86 permits campers, boats and other RV storage on a lot containing a dwelling unit. The RV must have current registration and a state license. The storage location must be in the side or rear yard of a lot containing a permanent dwelling and satisfy the actual district setbacks.
Storage does not establish a camping allowance
The RV may not connect to water and sewer services or serve permanent or continuous dwelling purposes. The clause does not establish how occasional guest sleeping is authorized, so guest use remains unknown. Neither street parking nor loading exceptions are created by this storage provision.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your exact address and proposal with the local zoning office. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
