Choose the storage location
Section 154.184 prohibits RV parking or storage on vacant lots. Outdoor storage normally belongs in a side or rear yard, at least five feet from side and rear lot lines. The vehicle must remain safe and functional.
Front yards require an individual decision
When the side or rear yard is inaccessible or clearance is insufficient, the Zoning Administrator may allow front-yard storage. Only the driveway can then be used, without blocking pedestrian or vehicle visibility. This is not automatic permission.
Storage is not unrestricted camping
The section prohibits living, sleeping or housekeeping except occasional visitor accommodation for up to two weeks. This checker covers unoccupied storage, not visitor eligibility, repeat stays or utilities. Storage on public streets, rights-of-way and private road easements is prohibited.
What to confirm
Check the actual city boundary, residential zoning and property lines. Confirm other applicable restrictions before placing the RV. The posted 2026 S-2 code was reviewed; later uncodified changes may require city confirmation.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No front-yard, visitor-occupancy or hookup permission. Posted 2026 S-2 text, not a guarantee that every later ordinance is codified.
Use the Linden parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
