Can I leave an RV on a Park City street?
Section 14-205(d) prohibits leaving an RV parked on a City street, highway or road except for its two specific situations. One is active loading or unloading, for up to 48 hours. The other is a mechanical breakdown that requires emergency repairs, for up to 24 hours. Both require attachment to a power unit and no traffic hazard. A short stay is not enough by itself; ordinary storage or an overnight visit is not one of these listed purposes.
What counts as loading or unloading?
The street rule refers to passengers, merchandise or other contents that facilitate the RV’s travel, camping, recreation or temporary-living use. It says actively loading and unloading. Do not assume that waiting several days to start a trip qualifies simply because the RV is outside your house. If the stop also involves an emergency breakdown, ask the City how the two provisions apply instead of assuming the shorter clock always decides the answer.
What if the RV breaks down?
The 24-hour exception is for a mechanical breakdown so emergency repairs can be performed—not routine maintenance by choice. The power-unit and no-hazard conditions remain. Section 14-205(e) allows an enforcement official to move or impound an RV in violation, with associated costs charged to its owner. Contact the City promptly if the situation is unsafe or the repair cannot be completed within the rule.
Can I store the RV at home?
Zoning section 6-100B5 addresses storage behind the front-yard setback on an approved surface. Accessory use must serve a permitted principal use and satisfy the rest of Article 6. A setback is not simply the edge of the road, and an approved surface is not whatever material happens to be there. This checker does not issue a blanket home-storage answer; ask Planning and Zoning to confirm the parcel, surface and applicable approvals.
Can it sit in front while I pack?
The zoning clause allows an RV in front of the front-yard setback but behind the City right-of-way for up to 48 hours while loading or unloading. A valid Temporary Occupancy Permit can also allow that position for its approved period. Separately, 5-102C7 discusses certain lower vehicles and fold-down campers in front-yard parking arrangements subject to other requirements. Those provisions and the differing RV definitions need a site-specific reading; the checker does not turn every front-yard RV into an automatic violation.
Can someone sleep in the stored RV?
For a stored accessory RV covered by 6-100B5, temporary lodging or occupancy requires a City-issued Temporary Occupancy Permit. The ordinary provision allows no more than two permits per location per year and no more than 15 consecutive days per permit. In an emergency or extraordinary hardship, the City Administrator or designee may allow a third permit, consider a fee waiver and consider a longer period. These are discretionary approvals, not automatic extra days. The checker checks the absence of a required permit, not whether a claimed permit satisfies every condition.
What does an occupancy permit cover?
The permit must name the owner or occupant of the real property, is location-specific and non-transferable, and must be displayed prominently on the RV so it is visible from outside. It does not authorize running electric cords, extension cords, hoses, cables or other accessories across or above a public sidewalk or roadway. Confirm the exact dates and conditions with the City; a permit for temporary occupancy is not approval for ongoing residence or every utility arrangement.
Why does the checker ask about classification?
The street definition in 14-205(d)(3) is not identical to the zoning definition in 6-100B5. The latter includes boats, boat trailers, extended pop-up campers and slide-out campers, but excludes retracted pop-up campers, conventional vans and pickups with installed slide-in campers or toppers. The City’s general zoning definitions and special parking provisions also need context. A vehicle excluded from one RV clause is not automatically free of all parking rules.
Which sources and dates does this cover?
The full municipal traffic article reviewed October 25, 2026 was consolidated through Ordinance 1257, adopted October 13, 2026. The separate official zoning PDF is updated December 16, 2025; the current incorporation section lists the text amendments separately from later map amendments. The posted October 27 council packet includes October 13 minutes awaiting approval, and a future proposal concerning noise. It is not proof that future proposals passed. Posted street restrictions, current site zoning, separate approvals and the complete incorporated traffic ordinance still need checking.
Who to contact for your setup
Contact Park City staff with the exact address, vehicle class, intended use and any existing permit. Ask Planning and Zoning to confirm the site and occupancy requirements, and the Police Department about the street stop, signs or breakdown.
Use the Park City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
