Jurisdiction and research scope
City of Quincy, Washington, in Grant County. This packet screens RV overnight occupancy, permanent-stay limits in RV parks, and vehicle alterations under Chapter 20.39. It does not approve unoccupied street parking, home storage, park development, conditional-use permits or a park site.
Local administrative screen only, not a permit, a complete legal opinion or a guarantee of lawful parking. State law, signs, road ownership, other code provisions, approvals and private restrictions may impose additional limits. Unknown facts never establish permission.

Overnight occupation is different from empty parking
Section 20.39.040M prohibits overnight occupation of a recreational vehicle within the City unless it is inside an approved recreational park. The adjacent provision also restricts residential and commercial occupation to uses regulated by the title or conditional uses under the Zoning Code. An owner's invitation, a paid parking space or a business license alone does not establish approval for overnight occupation. A claimed special conditional authorization needs review of its actual terms.
An approved park has requirements beyond a place to park. Chapter 20.39 requires an annual business license and the applicable conditional-use and final-site-plan approvals. Required improvements and approval conditions must be completed before a site is occupied, except for phasing approved by the Hearing Examiner. This guide does not decide whether a particular park has met those conditions. Unoccupied street parking and residential driveway storage are separate questions.
The 120-day limit is not a permission to live in an RV
Section 20.39.040M3 prohibits using an RV as a permanent place of abode or dwelling for an indefinite period. Occupancy in a park for more than 120 days in any twelve-month period is conclusively treated as permanent occupancy. The threshold is greater than 120, so day 121 crosses it; the count is not limited to a calendar year. Count previous and proposed days in the applicable twelve-month period.
A stay of 120 days or less does not establish that the vehicle is not being used as an indefinite permanent home. The underlying permanent-abode prohibition still applies, and all park approvals, occupancy conditions and internal rules remain relevant. The checker therefore flags excess duration or admitted permanent use but returns an unresolved result for a shorter stay. It does not issue a 120-day residence allowance or determine private tenancy rights.
Keep the RV mobile and separate from added structures
Check wheels and attached structures
Section 20.39.040M3 prohibits action toward removal of RV wheels except for temporary repair or placement. The express temporary exception is narrow: permanently blocking up a vehicle or converting it into a fixed residence is not approved by this screen. Temporary repair or placement and its actual duration require review when the facts are uncertain.
Section 20.39.040M4 separately prohibits attaching external appurtenances, including carports, cabanas, decks and patios, to an RV while it is in a park. The rule is about attached additions; it does not automatically approve a detached structure. The park's site plan, required separation and other land-use/building rules continue to govern. Spaces may only be rented for purposes expressly allowed by the chapter. Passing the wheel and attachment checks does not establish overall compliance.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask the local code or parking administrator to confirm the address, classification, current signs and actual permit terms before relying on an exception.
Use the Quincy parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
