Lodi RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Unoccupied public parking areas are not an overnight-storage option | The current section bars unoccupied recreational vehicles in public parking areas in every zoning district. This provision does not describe a 48-hour grace period for those parking areas. An ordinary public street is not silently treated as the same category; separate street restrictions still need checking. |
| More than 25 feet changes private-property timing | An unoccupied RV more than 25 feet long from end to end may not remain on any private property for more than 48 hours. The current occupied-vehicle clause separately uses the same length and time thresholds. Exactly 25 feet is not over 25, and exactly 48 hours is not more than 48, but being below a threshold is not full parking permission. |
| Commercial and industrial locations have named lawful circumstances | Ordinary unoccupied RV parking is barred in commercial or industrial zoning. The section lists lawful circumstances at an RV park, an RV dealer for sales display, a vehicle-service business for servicing or necessary repairs, and a commercial outdoor storage yard or indoor storage facility. Those are not automatic permissions for unrelated private lots; the checker sends them to separate review. |
| Occupied public parking and residential occupancy are different checks | An RV of any size used for sleeping, eating or living quarters may not park on public streets or in public parking areas except under a special temporary permit. In residential zoning, an RV used as sleeping, eating or living quarters may not be occupied for more than 48 hours, regardless of the separate over-25-foot rule. |
Confirm City of Lodi jurisdiction and the current definition
This guide concerns the City of Lodi, Wisconsin, not a namesake community or adjacent town. Section 325-10 now defines recreational vehicles broadly, listing travel and camper trailers, pickup camper attachments, snowmobiles, boats, flotation devices, go-carts and stock cars. Truck tractors, semitrailers, school buses and dissimilar commercial vehicles are excluded. Confirm the particular unit and location.

More than 25 feet changes private-property timing
An unoccupied RV more than 25 feet long from end to end may not remain on any private property for more than 48 hours. The current occupied-vehicle clause separately uses the same length and time thresholds. Exactly 25 feet is not over 25, and exactly 48 hours is not more than 48, but being below a threshold is not full parking permission.
Commercial and industrial locations have named lawful circumstances
Ordinary unoccupied RV parking is barred in commercial or industrial zoning. The section lists lawful circumstances at an RV park, an RV dealer for sales display, a vehicle-service business for servicing or necessary repairs, and a commercial outdoor storage yard or indoor storage facility. Those are not automatic permissions for unrelated private lots; the checker sends them to separate review.
Occupied public parking and residential occupancy are different checks
An RV of any size used for sleeping, eating or living quarters may not park on public streets or in public parking areas except under a special temporary permit. In residential zoning, an RV used as sleeping, eating or living quarters may not be occupied for more than 48 hours, regardless of the separate over-25-foot rule.
Temporary permits require an actual approved purpose
The Police Department may issue special temporary occupancy permits for construction headquarters at the project site, carnival workers or exhibitors at the annual Lodi Fair, and occupied RVs over 25 feet on private residential property for no more than five days. A five-day permit route is not a general five-day entitlement. This checker issues no permit and leaves approved or exceptional circumstances unresolved.
Use current code rather than old agenda drafts
The operative section records amendments from August 20, 2024 and July 15, 2025. The posted code includes legislation through June 16, 2026. Four later originals concern committees, boards/commissions, a separate conduct offense and ATV/UTV operating hours; none replaces the RV parking text. Older agenda copies describe different thresholds and are not used here. All other parking and zoning requirements continue to apply; no utility or disposal permission follows from a parking result.
