Jurisdiction and research scope
Unincorporated Lyon County, Nevada only, not Fernley or Yerington. Dayton, Silver Springs and other unincorporated communities are not separate city-law jurisdictions. Current online code 15.335.04(C)(6), read November 6, 2026. The same section provides a separate post-disaster route; this checker covers ordinary new-home construction, not disaster recovery.

Lyon County RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | One expressly approved RV during an eligible owner’s home construction. Confirm parcel zoning, setbacks, access and any area-plan requirements. |
| Street / loading | The cited private-property rules do not authorize parking or camping on public roads. No independent extended loading allowance is established by these sources. |
| Sleeping / utilities | One year, one extension up to six months; no simultaneous house and RV occupancy. Director-approved water and sewage; disconnect within 30 days after certificate of occupancy. |
Owner and eligible new home
The director may approve one RV while a new single-family home is built on the same owner-held parcel in AG, NIA, RL, RR-20, RR-10, RR-5, RR-2, RR-1, SR-2 or SR-1. The owner must have an issued permit to build the home for their own use, with RV permission expressly recorded in that approval.
Services and physical condition
Provide water and sewer/septic facilities, or arrangements specifically accepted by the director. Post copies of the building permit and RV approval where inspectors can see them. No skirting, porches or other additions or modifications may render the RV immobile. Home construction must continue with visible progress.
One year and a limited extension
RV approval lasts one year and may be renewed only once for up to six months. Disconnect water and sewage and store the RV on site or remove it within 30 days after the certificate of occupancy. The new house and RV may never be occupied simultaneously. Disaster rebuilding has a different permit route and longer potential timeframe.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Lyon County Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Lyon County parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
