Start with the district and permit
The temporary-housing provision in section 205-13 allows an RV as a temporary residence or business during permanent-building construction only in districts where that use is permissible. A special use permit has a one-year term. That is a permit term, not a free year of camping.

Renewal and removal
The provision allows two six-month renewals as needed. The first requires satisfactory completion of the foundation, framing and sheathing, good cause and unfinished construction. Renewal is not automatic. The RV must leave when the permit expires; confirm the written approval and its conditions rather than simply adding months yourself.

Prepare the site, not just the vehicle
Drainage, water supply, waste receptacles and electrical service must meet the referenced section 88-6 standards. Sewage must use a compliant private septic system or, if unavailable, regular lawful pumping and disposal. Bring the parcel, construction status, permit documents and service proposal to the town. This guide does not authorize connections, determine district eligibility or approve a stay.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. The two uncodified 2026 laws were read: refuse containers and energy-code adoption, not a replacement of this temporary-housing provision. District use table and individual approvals are not evaluated; all checker results remain unresolved pending town confirmation.
Use the New Lebanon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
