New Windsor RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Residential storage | One unused camping trailer or motor home on an occupied residential lot; licensed and registered. |
| Construction | Officer-issued permit up to six months, with one possible six-month extension. |
| Sleeping | Not permitted under the ordinary unused-storage exception. |
One vehicle, stored without use
Section 300-64 starts with a general trailer restriction, then allows one camping trailer or motor home on an occupied lot in a residential district. The vehicle may be stored but not used for any purpose. This exception does not authorize sleeping, housekeeping, rental accommodation or an RV on a vacant lot.
Construction is a separate permit route
Where a building permit covers construction or alteration, the Code Enforcement Officer may issue a temporary permit for one trailer lasting at most six months. A single additional six-month period requires the officer to find diligent construction and justifiable circumstances. The checker leaves that approval, its conditions and permitted use to the town.
Registration and parcel scope still matter
Section 300-65 prohibits storage, parking or use of unlicensed or unregistered vehicles, including trailers. New Law 5-2026 changes parcel SBL 6-1-25 from R-4 to HC, so an old residential map is not sufficient for that parcel. New Law 6-2026 concerns development of warehouses, distribution and self-storage facilities, not a new general residential RV allowance. Streets, utility installation and exact yard placement need separate confirmation.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the parcel and proposal with the local building or zoning office. This limited check is not a permit or a complete legal approval.
Use the New Windsor parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
