Ossining Town RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Storage must not be between the street line and principal building. One camping trailer, RV or bus not over 25 feet; occupied residential lot, outside all required yards. |
| Street / loading | No public-street allowance is established by this zoning storage exception. The exception is unused storage; a separate loading entitlement is not established. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Ordinary stored RVs cannot be used for any purpose, including guest sleeping. No utility or occupied-use permission follows from unused storage. |
One unused RV
Section 200-29G generally prohibits trailer, RV and bus parking/storage/use except its stated routes. The ordinary residential exception is one camping trailer, RV or bus no longer than 25 feet on an occupied lot in a residence district, stored but not used for any purpose.
Required yards and village boundaries
The RV must be outside every required yard and not between the street line and principal building. Confirm the actual zoning setbacks rather than treating every side or rear yard as eligible. This is unincorporated town zoning, not the separate village codes of Ossining or Briarcliff Manor.
Construction trailers and occupation
With a building permit, the Building Inspector may issue a temporary permit for one trailer for up to six months, with one possible six-month extension for diligent construction and justified circumstances. Planning Board location approval and any conditions are required. That special route is not ordinary guest-RV permission; streets, utility work and other uses need separate review.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Ossining Town Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Ossining Town parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
