Lino Lakes RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Who can keep an RV here? | Section 1007.052(11)(b) requires the vehicle to be registered to or rented by a resident of the dwelling. Required current plates or registration must be attached. A visitor or a vehicle owned by someone elsewhere is not automatically covered by the resident route. |
| Front-yard parking versus storage | Front-yard RVs must be confined to designated driveways or parking areas with compliant surfacing. For front-yard storage, the minimum distance from the street curb or pavement line is 30 feet on an arterial, 20 feet on a major collector, and 15 feet on a minor collector or local street. Ask the City to classify the road and yard; a driveway may be in more than one yard. |
| Side and rear storage | The selected rule requires stored vehicles at least five feet from side and rear lot lines. Exactly five feet satisfies only that distance, not all zoning conditions. This storage threshold is not automatically applied to short-term parking in the checker. Approved surfaces, driveway permits and other design standards still require separate review. |
| Living, hookups and clear access | The code prohibits living quarters in RVs parked or stored on residential or rural property and connections to water or sewage disposal systems there. It also prohibits blocking city or county sidewalks, parks or trails and unrelated goods storage in the vehicle. This checklist does not approve sleeping, residence, electrical hookups, loading or repairs. Street parking is a separate question. |
Confirm the property and classification
This guide addresses selected City of Lino Lakes rules for recreational motorhomes, truck campers and camping or travel trailers on ordinary residential or rural property. Confirm jurisdiction, current zoning and actual yard boundaries. Planned developments, overlays, nonconforming rights and special approvals are outside this checklist.

Source edition and later changes
The linked code is 2026 S-16 through December 8, 2025. The municipal index lists later 2026 rezoning and easement ordinances 01-26 through 05-26. The complete 02-26 text was read; several other bodies were not readable, and the hosted 2026 register was unavailable. Exclude affected or uncertain parcels, including Peltier Ponds, Harvest Grange, 24 Century Trail and Lyngblomsten. This is a bounded source review, not a complete current-law certification.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm current zoning, street classification and exceptions with Lino Lakes City Hall at 651-982-2400. Bring the parcel address, vehicle type, proposed location and measured distances. The checklist does not issue approval.
Use the Lino Lakes parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
