Unoccupied private-property storage
Section 274-6 allows an unoccupied covered trailer or camper on private property. Wheels may not be removed to immobilize it, and it may not be permanently affixed to the property. This is a limited Chapter 274 permission, not approval to create a driveway, obstruct a sight triangle or displace required residential parking.

Overnight street permits
Under §274-5, a trailer or camper cannot remain overnight on a village street without a permit from the Chief of Police. The discretionary permit may be issued to the owner or agent of the property abutting that part of the street. Vehicle size, street trafficability and proposed duration are considered. The checker does not issue or validate that permit.

Business transport trailers, construction offices, temporary educational/convention trailers and commercial or panel trucks have definition exceptions and must be reviewed separately.

Zoning and current code
The current code includes legislation through October 20, 2026 and lists no uncodified new laws. Chapter 306 still governs parcel use, required parking and sight clearance. Its residential parking rules require spaces according to the dwelling/use; the checker requires those existing obligations to remain satisfied and excludes corner-lot or sight-triangle uncertainty.
