RV parking rules in Ontario

Ontario RV parking at a glance

Lots without buildings

The supplemental private-RV provision prohibits outdoor storage on a lot without a principal building unless the vehicle is more than 200 feet from the front property line. Exactly 200 feet does not satisfy this exception.

Secure storage

Boats, trailers and RVs must be secured against safety hazards. This rule does not replace district setbacks or other zoning conditions on developed lots.

Visiting trailers

Visiting trailers at private RR residences may obtain a six-month permit, with placement behind the house, side-yard compliance and no neighborhood harm. SR/UR permits have a 90-day yearly limit. The checker does not issue or validate those permits. Occupancy, streets and hookups need 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. No visiting-trailer permit, occupancy, street or utility approval.

Use the Ontario parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
