11 municipalities, separate rule sets. This comparison covers Salt Lake City, North Salt Lake, South Salt Lake, West Valley City, Bountiful, Clearfield, Layton, Kaysville, Syracuse, Farmington, Centerville across the Salt Lake and Davis County area. Each municipality has separate rules, source dates and remaining questions. Other municipalities, unincorporated land and independently approved RV parks are outside its scope. Check the parcel’s jurisdiction and zoning first, then any HOA, deed or lease conditions.

Compare driveway and yard storage

A front driveway, side yard or screened space can give different answers in neighboring cities. Compare the legal footprint, surface, access and vehicle conditions in each row. Unoccupied storage and sleeping are separate questions.

Unoccupied RV storage at home: front, side and rear placement are different questions.

Salt Lake CitySources and limitsCity summary

RV parking is prohibited in required or provided front and corner side yards. A paved front driveway does not override that RV-specific rule.

§21A.44.060.B

Rear-yard storage is the normal outdoor route. An interior side yard is a fallback only where topography, mature trees or properly permitted buildings prevent rear access; a fence or gate does not establish the exception.

§21A.44.060.B.3–4

Use a parking-manual-compliant pad and access. The manual has a conditional gravel/crushed-concrete alternative; it does not approve loose gravel or dirt access. Outdoors: one motorhome or travel trailer and two RVs total per residence, with required car spaces preserved. Confirm property-specific screening.

RV counts and designParking manual
North Salt LakeSources and limitsCity summary

The front-setback RV prohibition has an exception for a driveway or the side of the house. The RV cannot project into public right-of-way. This is not a general front-lawn storage allowance.

§10-6-6.C

Conditioned side and rear storage routes exist without Salt Lake City’s rear-access-barrier test. A side stall needs hard surfacing and tapered hard-surfaced access; the transition area cannot be the parking space.

§10-6-6.E–F

Rear storage needs a hard pad with a compliant hard driveway, drive strips or irrigated turf-block access. Preserve required car stalls. Side/rear storage: one motorhome or travel trailer and two RVs over 12 feet total. Covers and customary stored items must be secure; screening is property-specific.

§10-6-6 storage conditionsProperty conditions
South Salt LakeSources and limitsCity summary

Concrete/asphalt is required. RV/trailer parking must be incorporated into the approved original development design and reached from an approved driveway; a new slab alone is not approval. Townhome developments exclude RV/trailer parking.

§17.06.130 approved residential parking

Yard parking is restricted outside applicable driveway/garage routes. A side/rear label or fence does not establish another RV parking footprint; ask Planning about the exact approved/nonconforming arrangement.

§17.07.030 yards and storage

§17.06.130 specifically requires concrete/asphalt. The broad Outdoor Storage definition and parking/yard restrictions need Planning reconciliation for long-term outdoor storage and its screening. No universal operable-RV count was established. Inoperable equipment has separate enclosure or one-unit opaque-screen conditions.

Specific RV/trailer surfaceOutdoor Storage definitionInoperable exceptions
West Valley CitySources and limitsCity summary

A lawful home front parking area can qualify, but all counted front-yard parking surfaces are capped at 50%, including gravel and the landscaped gap between hard strips. Front parking is at the garage/carport or an area not directly in front of the house, with no more than 4 ft house-frontage overlap excluding the garage/carport.

§7-9-114(4)–(5) front surface and frontage

Use a lawful side/rear parking footprint, retained required spaces and compliant surface/access. Confirm current zone, clear view, easements, landscaping and parcel approvals. No universal RV length/count cap was established in the reviewed ordinary home provisions.

Legal surface/landscapingRequired spacesClear-view controlsCurrent fences

Extra single-unit/two-unit/twin-home parking may use hard surface or gravel. Gravel: at least 4 in, compacted, weed/grass-free, durable borders. Each hard parking strip: at least 2 ft, with healthy landscaping between. Required gravel parking needs an actual historical/other exception review; landscaping is not parking.

A lawful R-zone Hard Surface driveway/front parking area can qualify. The complete counted area between the front property line and front building line is capped at the lesser of 20% of lot area or 1,200 sq ft. Preserve actual required stalls/access; ordinary single-family standard is 4 stalls, at least 2 in a garage.

R-zone front hard-area rulesRequired spaces and access

Lawful hard parking, or the specific interior-side/rear Permeable Parking Surface alternative. Permeable parking is excluded from front and street-side yards. Corner hard parking must reconcile the actual street-side setback/access exceptions and approved footprint.

Specific permeable-yard alternativeCorner access/yard conditions

Permeable route: lawful hard access; transition at least 8 ft wide and no more than 20% of street frontage, extending at least 8 ft behind the front building line before the stall; no parking on the transition. Pad at least 2 ft from property lines, slope at most 10%, lawful drainage, border and upkeep. Preserve required car stalls. No universal RV length/count ceiling or six-foot screen was established.

48 consecutive hours or a shorter posted limit. Relocation means moving off public right-of-way. Inoperable units are prohibited. Trailer permission needs Code Enforcement confirmation because published City guidance conflicts.

§6-2-7.H–ICity parking guidance

A motorized vehicle or full combination exceeding 45 feet length, 8 feet width, 14 feet height, 18,000 pounds gross weight or two axles normally has two hours. Exceptions concern actual passenger/freight loading or MD/MG streets other than Main, Center, 1100 North, Pacific, Overland or Redwood. The industrial exception retains a 48-hour ceiling and shorter signs.

§6-2-7.I.3

Street parking is prohibited during a snow event until edge-to-edge plowing is complete. City guidance describes discretionary obstruction permits up to 14 days. Obtain an issued permit covering the exact stay; it does not automatically waive the oversized, trailer, snow or clearance rules.

Ordinary qualifying RV street parking needs a Police-issued displayed permit, at most ten consecutive days / 240 hours. No new permit if either applicant or RV received one in the prior thirty days. Ordinary non-RV vehicles use the general 72-hour ceiling; attached trailers still need a licensed, registered, insured and operable tow vehicle.

Questions that change the answer

Does a paved front driveway give the same answer in every city?

No. Use the front/driveway row above and draw the entire vehicle footprint. Each City must identify your legal yards and any required spaces before its storage route can apply.

Can I move around the block to restart the street clock?

Do not assume so. Salt Lake City has a same-block-face return test; North Salt Lake defines relocation as leaving public right-of-way. Record the complete arrival, departure and return history; the other cities’ clocks and permit conditions must be checked separately.

Does Salt Lake City have North Salt Lake’s two-hour oversized rule?

No. Salt Lake City has a separate restricted-vehicle category and limited loading or route exceptions. North Salt Lake has its own two-hour rule. In Salt Lake City’s published restricted-vehicle definition, the 14-foot clause concerns width, not height. Use the linked local sections.

Can I use this comparison elsewhere in the valley?

Comparison checked October 12, 2026. Published code edition: 2026 S-13, through ordinances passed May 19, 2026. The September 15, 2026 Town Center amendment is flagged separately and does not establish an RV exception.

Confirm before relying on an exception: Ask Code Enforcement to resolve the two City pages’ trailer wording and the exact scope of any obstruction permit. Confirm current parcel zoning, vehicle classification, clear-view requirements and project-specific screening. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

South Salt Lake: official sources

Reviewed October 12, 2026 against live Supplement 69, through Ordinance 2026-12 of May 27, 2026, posted September 28, 2026. Older indexed edition 66 was stale. The City’s posted draft October 14, 2026 minutes record unanimous Council approval of amendments to §§10.02.020 and 10.08.040. As of November 5, 2026, the final signed ordinance, publication and effective date were not verified. This status check does not replace the cited code review.

Confirm before relying on an exception: Obtain exact City reconciliation of long-term outdoor storage, large-vehicle FAQ exceptions, snow overlaps of one hour or less and private guest occupancy. Later ordinances and parcel approvals remain separate checks. The October 14 amendments’ final signed text, publication and effective date were not verified November 5, 2026. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

West Valley City: official sources

Checked October 12, 2026. Principal code edition is current through Ordinance 26-33 of August 25, 2026, including codified 2025 landscaping/surfacing changes and the 2026 fence amendment. Later listed 26-34/35/36 affect a parcel’s plan/zone or street vacation; they do not rewrite the principal parking sections.

Confirm before relying on an exception: The Police page differs from the codified RV defenses and commercial classification. Exact Parking Compliance interpretation is needed, including overlapping nonmotorized/trailer clauses. No parcel determination, general guest-night/longer-street permit or exhaustive post-edition law certification was obtained. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

Bountiful: official sources

City sources checked October 13, 2026. Current linked file headers: chapter 4 Ord 2025-13; chapters 3/18 Ord 2025-05/06; chapter 14 Ord 2024-11. These are file editions, not an exhaustive later-legislation cutoff. Full traffic/municipal PDF was found but unusable; street row relies on the current City web summary with remaining Police confirmation.

  • Single-family R-zone chapter: §14-4-110 parking, loading and access

    Relevant full parking text and figures inspected from the City-linked PDF on October 13, 2026. File header: Ordinance 2025-13. Includes front hard-area limits and the interior-side/rear permeable alternative; no post-file ordinance clearance is claimed.

  • Chapter 3 definitions: Hard Surface, Permeable Parking Surface and vehicle terms

    Relevant definitions inspected in the currently City-linked chapter on October 13, 2026. File header lists Ordinances 2025-05 and 2025-06. A material must meet its full definition; the guide does not treat every gravel or landscaping surface as parking.

  • Chapter 18: required parking, approved surfaces and access

    Published City chapter read on October 13, 2026; header lists Ordinances 2025-05 and 2025-06. §§14-18-103, -105, -107 and -109 preserve required stalls and govern material, corner access and plans.

  • §14-14-106(B): RV/camper/boat temporary lodging

    Exact relevant section inspected visually in the City-linked chapter on October 13, 2026. File header: Ordinance 2024-11. The exception is less than one week in any six months; no full latest-law certification or general street-lodging permission was obtained.

  • City street-parking regulations

    Full City web summary checked October 13, 2026. It states a 24-hour outside ceiling, seasonal 2–6 a.m. restriction, actual snow/twelve-hour rule, Main Street snow exception and shorter posted controls. The stray text “or 252” supplies no usable movement/reset instruction.

  • City Streets: winter parking and snow removal

    Official indexed City text checked October 13, 2026. Its “or during the months” wording is ambiguous; this guide follows the clearer Street Parking Regulations page for the seasonal summary and asks Police about the exact code.

  • City land-use code and Planning route

    Current official chapter directory checked October 13, 2026. The City says files are periodically updated and directs readers to Planning for the latest version. Later uncodified legislation and individual parcel approvals were not certified.

  • Bountiful City Interactive Map

    Actual City-linked map route verified October 13, 2026. No individual address, layer interaction or parcel determination was exercised.

  • City-linked Traffic / Municipal Code PDF

    The linked 264-page PDF was located but its controlling traffic provisions were unreadable. Full-document access was restricted. This is not a full current traffic-code review.

Confirm before relying on an exception: Full traffic/oversized/trailer rules and the damaged street-copy movement wording remain unresolved. The temporary-lodging repeat-use counting basis and applicable parcel/utility approvals need actual City review. No exhaustive later-ordinance clearance or general permit authority is claimed. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

Layton: official sources

Current City-linked hosted code inspected October 13, 2026. §19.12.190 history 2020; §10.62.030 includes 2023 amendment. Street-code/City-summary clock difference explicitly preserved. Later uncodified ordinances and parcel approvals not certified.

Confirm before relying on an exception: City summary includes24 hours for streets but current hosted clause does not; Police should reconcile disputed timing. General solid-surface text and specific RV compacted-material exception need the actual approved layout. No exhaustive later-ordinance clearance claimed. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

Signed adopted 25-11-02 inspected October 13, 2026 with current City street guidance. Street-focused review; consolidated private RV text not fully verified. Later uncodified changes not exhaustively certified. Signed September 17, 2026 ADU ordinance checked for its explicit RV/DADU exclusion.

Confirm before relying on an exception: Private storage/loading and occupied use are confirmation-only. Detached trailers do not automatically inherit the motor-vehicle two-hour wording. No blanket permission inferred from a clock. Read the detailed guide’s source record.

Syracuse: official sources

Checked October 13, 2026. Published chapter 11.20 includes 25-33 and 26-17. Private-placement text plus a March 2026 staff excerpt; partial private review. Current overall code cutoff not verified.

  • General land-use chapter 10.30

    Retrieved October 13, 2026. §10.30.010(B) includes a residential rear-yard coverage provision; exact parcel application needs Planning.

  • March 3, 2026 Planning Commission packet

    City staff review reproduces §10.40.070 surface/design provisions. This dated staff excerpt is corroboration, not proof of later amendments or approval of a visitor’s home.

  • City Code Enforcement FAQ

    Still says a universal RV/trailer 24-hour limit and gives only the snow trigger. Current chapter 11.20 has materially different wording; this guide follows the retrieved code and explains the discrepancy.

  • Syracuse Planning and zoning map

    Official Planning route, with May 12, 2026 zoning-map link. No individual parcel or map interaction was tested.
