What can be stored at a single-family home?
Section 108-5.15 opens with unoccupied RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, campers and small boats on single-family property. Its detailed size and count wording names travel trailers, campers and small boats: no more than 28 feet long and eight feet wide, and one travel trailer or camper or one small boat. Because the narrower clauses do not repeat motor homes, confirm how they apply to a motor home instead of assuming an exemption.
Where can a trailer or camper go?
The boat, travel trailer or camper must be in the side yard only, outside the side-yard setback and not forward of the front building line. Section 108-5.3 treats all yards facing a public street as front yards; corner lots need particular care. A rear yard is not the stated trailer-storage route.
Can guests sleep in an RV?
Section 108-5.15D prohibits permanent or temporary overnight occupancy or use of trailers, travel trailers, motor homes, boats and RVs in any zone. In emergencies the Zoning Board of Adjustment may approve up to 60 days and, for good cause, renew once for up to another 60 days. Neither period is automatic.
Are hookups allowed for a stored RV?
No. Subsection C requires the stored vehicles to remain unoccupied and have no utility connections. It contains no maintenance-hookup exception. Monroe Township in Gloucester County has different rules; its 35-foot language does not govern this Middlesex County guide.
What needs separate confirmation?
Confirm the municipal boundary, later ordinances, your exact zoning district and approved parking area. Easements, private covenants, leases, flood restrictions and construction/utility approvals may impose additional limits. An unresolved question is not permission to park or occupy a vehicle.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Monroe Township (Middlesex County) zoning staff about the parcel, legal yard boundaries, vehicle classification, storage and proposed occupancy. Ask municipal Police about street restrictions. Confirm current ordinances and approvals before relying on a parking arrangement.
Use the Monroe Township (Middlesex County) parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
