Jurisdiction and research scope
This guide covers Overland, Missouri city limits. Selected parking provisions do not establish unrestricted camping or utility permission.
Code edition through December 8, 2025; later-law register reviewed October 27, 2026. Ordinances 2026-04 and 2026-05 were reviewed: conditional-use amendment procedure and grocery/convenience/liquor definitions/use tables, not the selected camping-equipment rules. Other register entries concern listed permits, agreements, maps and unrelated chapters; this is not a full review of every permit body.

Overland RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Front-yard RV storage needs a driveway, no rear driveway/alley access and equipment no longer than 28 feet. |
| yard | Safe residential storage requires operable, registered equipment in good repair; front yards have additional limits. |
| street | Emergency or temporary street stopping may last no more than 12 hours, subject to all other street rules. |
| loading | Loading is not an unlimited exemption; street stopping remains subject to the 12-hour temporary exception. |
| guest | Living, sleeping and housekeeping in parked/stored residential camping equipment are prohibited. |
| hookups | The selected parking rules do not establish utility-connection permission. |
Check the vehicle definition
Section 355.210 includes motorized homes, pickup coaches, camping trailers and qualifying travel trailers. A travel trailer must be manufacturer-identified and have a road-equipped body width no greater than 8 feet. Wider or ambiguous units need City classification, not an assumed exemption.
Street stops have a 12-hour ceiling
Section 355.220 prohibits equipment on public places. Emergency or temporary stopping on streets, alleys and highways has a maximum 12-hour exception, still subject to other restrictions. A public parking lot is not automatically included in that exception.
Front driveways are conditional
Section 355.230 combines the driveway requirement,28-foot maximum and the rule against front-yard outdoor storage unless driveway or alley access behind the front building line is unavailable. The whole unit must stay on the established driveway without overhang.
Rear access changes the answer
A convenient front driveway is not the exception if rear driveway or alley access exists. Measure the actual front yard and equipment; a postal address or driveway label does not settle the property geometry.
Keep equipment ready and storage safe
Residential outdoor equipment must be operable and registered, and all equipment must remain in good repair. Unsafe placement is prohibited. Section 355.205 separately requires express or implied consent from the owner or person lawfully in charge.
No residential sleeping
Parked or stored camping equipment cannot be used for living, sleeping or housekeeping on private residential property. Storage does not confer utility or camping permission. Section 400.485 concerns commercial/industrial cargo trailers, not a replacement RV loading exemption.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask City staff to confirm the parcel, vehicle category, applicable rules and any actual permit before relying on an exception. Official code sources are linked below.
