Mount Arlington RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|

| Side/rear | Screen approximately half of stored items from street and property lines. |
| Area | All outdoor storage at most 20% of principal structure footprint. |
Front-yard driveway storage
Section 133-12(B) allows an RV in a defined front yard only within an approved driveway and as far from the public right-of-way as practical. If it occupies a required side-yard setback, the same screening standard used for side/rear storage applies. Legal yard boundaries and driveway approval must be confirmed.
Side and rear screening
Residential side- and rear-yard outdoor storage, including RVs, must be screened from a public street and property lines. The ordinance describes shielding approximately one-half of the stored items from view. The checker asks for confirmation of that standard rather than converting it into an invented fence-height requirement.
Area, registration and condition
The permitted outdoor-storage area may not exceed 20% of the principal structure’s footprint. Include all outdoor storage, not just the RV. Storage counts as impervious surface and must remain incidental to the approved principal use. An RV not stored on a trailer must be registered; if on a trailer, the trailer must be registered. RVs must remain in good repair and clean, sanitary condition, with the area around and underneath maintained under §133-10.
Safety and approvals remain separate
Section 133-10 requires safe, maintained parking areas and protects corner sight clearance. Section 133-12 also preserves referenced property-maintenance standards. This guide screens the narrow storage provisions and does not approve repairs, a new driveway, an impervious-surface increase, habitation or utility installation.
Who to contact for your setup
Limited administrative screening only. The municipality must confirm classification, jurisdiction, parcel conditions and any required approvals. No permit, camping right or utility authorization is issued. Official current code reports no uncodified laws. The Borough’s 2026 ordinance index was also read November 7, 2026. District-specific development, affordable housing and commercial self-storage changes do not replace the cited ordinary residential outdoor-storage provisions; those special sites are excluded.
Use the Mount Arlington parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
