Jurisdiction and research scope
North Versailles Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania only. Sources read November 6, 2026. This deliberately narrow guide concerns Chapter 243 short-term-rental properties, not every private RV or driveway. Chapter 243 was adopted September 19, 2024 by Ordinance 1144. Its definition refers to rentals of one to 30 consecutive days in the MU Zone. Three February 19, 2026 laws are separately listed; confirm current law and the site’s classification.

North Versailles Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Private property | Rental-guest parking uses available property areas, subject to separate RV/site rules. Short-term-rental guests may not park on lawns or vegetated areas. |
| Street and loading | Only separately lawful on-street areas; no RV street permission established. No loading/repair grace period established. |
| Guest occupancy | Overnight RV/camper-trailer occupancy prohibited at a Chapter 243 short-term-rental property. |
Can I sleep in an RV at a North Versailles vacation rental?
No when the site is a short-term-rental property governed by Chapter 243. Section 243-13G prohibits overnight occupancy of RVs, camper trailers and tents at the property where the short-term rental is located. It separately prohibits outdoor overnight sleeping by rental occupants or guests. An empty bedroom in the house or the owner’s permission does not create an RV exception.
Can a rental guest park an unoccupied RV?
Section 243-13C limits rental-guest outdoor parking to available parking areas on the property and lawful on-street areas, and excludes lawns or vegetated areas. “Lawful on-street” is not an affirmative RV street-parking permit. Confirm the vehicle and location under separate traffic and zoning rules. The overnight-occupancy rule and the unoccupied-parking question are different.
Does the rule apply to every home or campsite?
This guide does not make that claim. The chapter’s short-term-rental definition concerns occupancy/use/lodging rentals lasting at least one day and no more than 30 consecutive days in the MU Zone. The chapter excludes camps, hotels/motels/inns, boardinghouses and group homes as defined in zoning. A longer rental, different zone or ordinary nonrental driveway is not automatically legal; it needs the applicable rules rather than a forced answer under this chapter.
Does a short-term-rental permit approve RV guests?
No. The rental permit does not waive the RV overnight prohibition. The chapter requires an owner permit before renting, offering or advertising a short-term rental and makes the standards conditions of the permit. This guide does not determine whether the house is licensed or clear utility connections, campground operations or ongoing RV residence.
What should I confirm before parking?
Give municipal zoning or code-enforcement staff the parcel address, vehicle type, parking position and intended use. Ask Police about streets and current signs. Confirm subsequent ordinances, easements, approved site plans and private restrictions. A vehicle-storage answer does not authorize sleeping, utility installation or a campground.
Who to contact for your setup
Contact North Versailles Township zoning/code enforcement for the parcel and proposed use; contact municipal Police for current street restrictions.
