| Occupancy | No camping permission from FAQ. |
Use paving, not the front lawn
The City police FAQ says motorhomes, boats and trailers may remain on a paved surface in a residential front yard for up to 72 hours. It explicitly excludes grass. This guide applies only to an already lawful surface, not permission to build one.
Keep the vehicle road-ready
The same FAQ says vehicles must be operational and have current registration and insurance. Confirm that these are in place before using the limited front-yard allowance.
Do not turn a parking limit into camping permission
The FAQ does not grant sleeping or hookup permission. It separately explains the November-through-March street restriction from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.; street stays and full zoning compliance require separate review.
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. Official police guidance, not complete parcel zoning analysis. No rear-yard, street, new pad, camping or utility approval.
Use the North Muskegon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
