Newtown Borough (Bucks County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Private lot | One RV per dwelling; occupant storage in an enclosed building or screened behind the front building setback. |
| Public street | Street permission is not established by this home-parking provision. |
| Guest sleeping | No living, sleeping or housekeeping at an ordinary lot or unapproved location. |
How many RVs can I store in Newtown Borough?
The vehicle-parking paragraph in §550-18A(7) permits one recreational vehicle per dwelling unit. Campers, RVs, travel trailers and boats may be stored on the lot only by its occupant. The rule is for Newtown Borough, not neighboring Newtown Township or Newtown Township in Delaware County.
Does a driveway qualify for storage?
Storage must be in an enclosed building or in an area that is screened from view and behind the front building setback line. A driveway label or fence alone does not establish both conditions.
Can I load in front of the house?
An RV may be parked anywhere on a residential lot for no more than 24 hours during loading and unloading. This is a private residential-lot exception, not permission for 24 hours on the street, routine front-yard storage or sleeping.
Can a visitor sleep in the RV?
No living, sleeping or housekeeping use is allowed when the RV is parked/stored on a lot or at another location not approved for such use. A separate approved site is not evaluated here. The paragraph also limits any property to one unlicensed vehicle without tags and/or plates, regardless of vehicle type.
What should I ask before parking?
Give zoning staff the parcel address, vehicle type, parking position, intended use and duration. Ask about legal yard boundaries, easements, impervious coverage, floodplain restrictions and any later ordinance. Sleeping, utility installation and repair work need their own answers. A storage business is not automatically an overnight campground. Private covenants and leases can be stricter.
