Can I store an RV at home?
Section 205-43 permits outdoor storage on single-family and two-family lots, subject to its conditions. Subsection A allows one recreational vehicle, trailer or camper and one boat no greater than 28 feet long. The 28-foot wording immediately follows the boat; do not assume it is a settled RV length limit. The provision does not grant outdoor storage in multifamily zones, including condos, townhouses and garden apartments.
How far back must it be?
The storage position must be no closer to the street line than both the actual building line on your lot and the actual building line of the property adjacent to the storage area. Side and rear setbacks for accessory structures in the particular zone also apply. The adjacent building line matters even when your RV sits behind your own house front.
Does the street ban apply only overnight?
No time limit is stated in §205-43D. The named vehicles are prohibited on the street in and across from all residential zones, even if both sides are not residential-zoned, and on both sides in front of or directly across from any residential use. Do not borrow the separate commercial-vehicle overnight hours.
Can a guest sleep in the RV?
The introductory text refers to unoccupied RVs, campers and boats, but also refers to occupied or unoccupied open or closed trailers. That wording is not a reliable general permission for guest habitation. Ask zoning staff to determine the precise unit classification and the separate legality of sleeping, dwelling use and utilities.
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 North Brunswick Township 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 North Brunswick Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
