Monett RV parking at a glance

|---|---|
| driveway | Front-yard parking is restricted; designated parking must also comply with setback and required-front-yard rules. |
| yard | Section 355.035 prohibits ordinary parking in the required residential front yard and limits other front-yard parking to qualifying surfaces. |

Residential streets have a specific RV prohibition
Section 355.110 expressly includes recreational vehicles, trailers and house trailers. It applies to streets in residential districts defined by Chapter 400 Articles II and III, not automatically every road with a residential postal address.
Loading must be actual and continuous
The exception covers actual continuous loading or unloading of freight, goods or other personal property to or from a building or structure in that district. Merely preparing a trip, parking between trips or calling a stay temporary does not establish this exception.
A required front yard is not a storage area
Section 355.035 prohibits a vehicle from remaining in the required residential front yard. The code separately defines front yard and required front yard; ask the City to identify these lines on the actual property.
A paved driveway is not an automatic exemption
Other front-yard parking must be on a driveway or adjacent designated parking area paved or graveled to prevent ruts in all weather. The same section limits parking areas within setback lines and the required front yard; an access crossing is not unrestricted storage space.
Special front-yard exceptions are narrow
The code lists specific construction, moving, household-delivery, food, accessible loading and family-event exceptions, each with its own scope or time restriction. This checker does not turn them into general RV storage permission.
Street permission and sleeping are different
Posted restrictions, traffic clearances and other rules continue to apply. A loading exception establishes neither overnight living nor utility connections; private sites require their own review.
Who to contact for your setup
