Russellville RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Keep an RV at least 10 feet from the edge of road pavement; a driveway does not create an exemption. |
| yard | The ten-foot pavement-edge exclusion also matters for private-property placement. Other land-use requirements need confirmation. |
| guest | Residential occupation is limited to seven days in any 60-day period, not seven days per visit. |
| street | RV parking is prohibited on City streets, State roads and County roads. |
| loading | The cited RV provision does not supply a separate trip-loading exception to its road-parking ban. |
| hookups | Connections to public utilities must meet current City Codes. A utility-connected RV carries a rebuttable presumption of residential occupation. |
| uncertainty | Confirm vehicle classification and whether the actual use is residential occupation; passing a ceiling is not blanket permission. |
Start with the road edge, even on your own lot
Section 215.140(C) prohibits parking a recreational vehicle on City streets, State roads or County roads and within ten feet of the edge of pavement. Moving off the traveled roadway onto a driveway or roadside part of a lot does not remove the ten-foot condition. Measure to the actual pavement edge, not just the property boundary.
Count residential occupation across sixty days
Section 215.140(A) limits residential occupation to seven days in any sixty-day period. The relevant quantity is the combined occupation in that window. A departure followed by a return should not be treated as a fresh seven-day allowance. The checker separates this count from the time an unused RV merely stands on a property.
Do not equate a short stay with complete approval
A proposed stay of seven days or less does not automatically satisfy every land-use, safety or property rule. The checker can identify an exceeded duration or prohibited road position, but leaves an otherwise unfailed arrangement for address-specific confirmation rather than declaring general permission.
Utility connections change the questions
The code creates a rebuttable presumption of residential occupation when an RV is connected to public utilities. Connections must also satisfy current City Codes. The checker excludes any requested utility connection instead of treating a parking result as hookup approval. Explain the actual connection and use to City staff.
Check the vehicle definition
The chapter covers recreational conveyances and specified converted vehicles, including a camper mounted on a pickup. Buses or trailers are not automatically covered unless converted to recreational use, and dismounted equipment can be classified differently. Confirm the definition for the exact unit before relying on the RV-specific rule.
Loading and maintenance are not invented exceptions
No separate trip-preparation allowance is supplied by the cited RV section. A short stop should not be assumed exempt from the road prohibition. Repair work and special circumstances require their own review; this guide does not convert the absence of a researched exception into permission.
Read the cited code and amendment chain together
The code edition includes legislation through March 12, 2026. Ten later laws were screened, including scanned hazard-plan and court-cost documents, without finding a change to this RV section. The publisher displays an unusual ordinance number/date pairing; the guide relies on the operative codified wording, not an inferred ordinance year.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Russellville city staff to confirm the actual address, vehicle classification, zoning and any required permits. Read the current official provisions and later-law index below.
