Secaucus RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Behind the building line | Section 135-7.2 requires recreational vehicles, boats and trailers, whether registered or unregistered and operational or not, on a paved surface or in a garage behind the building line established by the residence portion nearest the street. A special rule addresses the street line abutting the rear of a reverse-frontage lot. The checker excludes that geometry and does not approve front-yard RV parking. |
| Driveway dimensions still apply | The same section addresses driveway location, width, length, materials and drainage. The driveway edge normally must be at least 18 inches from side and rear lot lines, and the expansion farthest from the house must be at least three feet from the sidewalk. Minimum driveway length is 18 feet measured from the street line or sidewalk, whichever is farther from the curb. Curb-cut and width limits vary with the garage and expansion; corner driveways involve a 30-foot intersection rule. This checker covers only existing approved pavement, not a new or expanded driveway. |
| Approvals and jurisdiction | New curb and driveway work generally requires a zoning permit, with roads controlled by other governments requiring their authority’s involvement. Drainage must go toward the street rather than neighboring land. Meadowlands LDR delegation and nonstandard lots need separate review. Vehicle placement does not grant habitation, business, utility or public-street permission. The current new-laws list reviewed did not replace this residential RV placement provision. |

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm parcel jurisdiction and unusual proposals with the local zoning or parking office. This is a limited administrative check, not a permit or complete legal approval.
Use the Secaucus parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
