Richmond RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Front-driveway storage is prohibited. No more than two RVs per lot; preserve traffic visibility, operability and current registration when required. Stored RVs must be registered to the occupant. |
| Street / loading | In R-1, R-2 and R-3, §71.14 permits only reasonable delivery/passenger/loading time, with a resident trip-departure/return exception up to 24 hours immediately abutting the resident lot. The public-way 24-hour storage wording in §157.044(H)(3) is not blanket street permission; reconcile it with the no-street-storage clause and §71.14. |

Who to contact for your setup
Ask Richmond 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 Richmond parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
