Mitchellville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Public right-of-way strip | More than 72 hours within seven days is prohibited; no human occupancy. |
| Street or alley roadway | Do not transfer the strip’s 72-hour rule to the roadway. Separate restrictions apply. |
| Private driveway or yard | The selected right-of-way checker does not decide storage, surfacing or zoning. |
| Temporary private-property occupancy | Resident permit process; seven days in 30, with windshield display required. |
Check the location first
The code defines this right-of-way as the public area between the lot line and the edge of the street or alley. Do not apply its 72-hour allowance to the street roadway, a private driveway or an unconfirmed boundary. The checker asks for this distinction explicitly.
Count 72 hours within seven days
Section 69.12(2)(A) prohibits recreational-vehicle parking in that right-of-way for longer than 72 hours within any seven-day period. Count the whole relevant period, including the planned stay. The guide does not assume that moving a short distance resets the clock.
No human occupancy in the right-of-way
Section 69.12(2)(B) prohibits human occupancy at any time during the allowable parking period. A short stay, a loading plan or a duration below 72 hours is not permission to sleep in the RV there.
Which vehicles are included?
The definition includes vehicles used or designed for temporary dwelling, recreation or sporting purposes. Examples include motor homes, travel and folding tent trailers, removed truck campers, converted buses, boats, personal watercraft, snowmobiles, horse trailers and utility trailers. Confirm an uncertain vehicle classification with the City.
Private-property occupancy has a separate permit
Under §69.12(3), a resident may apply for a no-charge permit for temporary RV occupancy on private property. The limit is seven days in any 30-day period, and the permit must remain clearly visible from outside in the driver-side windshield. This is a separate process, not automatic approval of any driveway, yard or utility connection; the checker does not grant this permit.
Use the current code, not an unsigned draft
The operative source is the August 2026 codification, current through Ordinance 2026-002 of April 20, 2026. The City also links an older RV ordinance draft with blank adoption lines; it is not used as proof of enactment. The October 19 council agenda lists a facility-access proposal, not an RV amendment. Confirm later changes, roadway limits and local signs before parking.
