Jurisdiction and research scope
Raymore city limits only. Full publisher §§545.430-.431 and 355.110 read October 21,2026. Residential zoning, actual yard position, DOT vehicle class, lot development and exceptions all matter. This review did not certify every later uncodified amendment or issue address-specific approval. The A parking/storage list and G/H off-street-area restrictions leave between-trip storage and nonmotorized equipment overlap unresolved; only the reported temporary motorized parking route is conditionally examined.

Raymore RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway storage | A listed driveway may support ordinary temporary unoccupied motorized parking, subject to vehicle-class, lot and site conditions. A versus G/H leaves between-trip storage and nonmotorized overlap unresolved. |
| Yard storage | A/RE and other residential districts have different location rules. Other residential side space must be behind the front of the house on paving; rear parking does not require paving under A. Storage overlap remains unresolved. |
| Street parking | Ordinary RV/trailer street parking prohibited; continuous loading/unloading for local delivery is the specific exception. |
| Guest sleeping | Living/sleeping/cooking limited 30 days/year except building-permit security or disaster accommodation; shorter stays need remaining approvals. |
Where can an RV be stored in a residential yard?
Section 545.431(A) allows parking/storage anywhere on property in A or RE zoning. In other residential zoning it lists a driveway, completely enclosed structure, side yard behind the front of the residence on a paved/impervious surface, or rear yard behind the residence. The rear route does not require paving under that clause. A “side yard” label alone is insufficient if the rig sits ahead of the house.
Is parking the same as between-trip storage?
Section 545.431(A) expressly lists home parking and storage locations, while subsections G and H limit off-street parking areas to operable motor-vehicle parking and prohibit storage, repairs, sales or service. This review did not establish the boundary between an ordinary temporary parking use and between-trip storage under those overlapping clauses. It also did not resolve the reference to motor vehicles against the location list’s boats and trailers. The checker leaves those overlaps unresolved rather than treating every listed space as full storage permission.
Can I use front-yard grass or the roadside strip?
Section 545.431(C) restricts grass parking in a residential front yard beyond 24 hours unless Council approval is granted; the clause excepts a private lot of at least one acre. This does not automatically erase the separate location list. SubsectionD prohibits parking/storage in the right-of-way between curb and property line. Do not mistake a wide roadside verge for your private storage area.
Do all large RVs qualify?
Residential districts prohibit several vehicle classes, including a vehicle rated Class 5 or higher under the specified US DOT/FHWA classification. A motorhome is not automatically exempt just because it is recreational. Determine the actual classification; the checker will not infer it from appearance or an RV badge. School/charter-bus overnight parking and specialized equipment have additional listed restrictions.
Can I leave it on a street while preparing for a trip?
Section 355.110(B) prohibits RVs and trailers on municipal streets except continuous loading/unloading for local delivery. Passive trip preparation or between-trip storage is not established as that exception. There is no general numeric RV street window in the examined provision.
Can family or guests stay in the RV?
Section 545.431(F) limits use for living, sleeping or cooking to 30 days per year. Named exceptions concern monitoring/securing property with a valid building permit or accommodation after storm, fire or similar damage. The form can identify an ordinary proposal exceeding 30 days; it does not approve every shorter stay or a claimed exception. Utility, safety and land-use approvals remain separate.
Can I store it on an empty lot?
SubsectionJ prohibits vehicle storage/parking on an undeveloped residential lot without a principal building. It provides an exception where the lot and an adjacent residential lot share ownership and the same owner occupies the principal residence. Actual common ownership, adjacency and occupancy must be verified. Inoperable vehicles and major disassembly are also regulated by §545.430; an open yard is not a repair-shop exemption.
