Sewickley Borough RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Private property | Occupant-owned/used RV outside: maximum 72 aggregate hours in three months before removal or qualifying enclosure. |

| Sleeping / guests | Parking limits do not authorize sleeping, dwelling or hookups. |
How long may I park an RV outside at home?
Section 330-1002A(2) limits unenclosed private off-street parking of listed equipment owned and used by occupants of the premises to 72 aggregate hours in any three-month period. Occupants include residents, tenants, employees and employers. After that, remove it from the lot or put it in an enclosed area hidden from adjoining lots, public sidewalks and public rights-of-way. A visitor-owned RV does not automatically fit the occupant-owned wording.
How is the street limit different?
Sections 330-1002B(1)–(2) use 72 consecutive hours in any three-month period for public off-street lots and street parking, not the private-property aggregate measure. The street provision requires removal after that period. Do not assume moving spaces resets a period or that shorter stays are automatically permitted; posted and other traffic rules remain separate.
What other home placement rules apply?
For R-1, R-1A, R-2 and C-1/VO districts, F restricts parking in front of the principal building and sets separate rules for garages, open parking, driveway width and lot-line distances. G separately addresses distance to sidewalks, public rights-of-way and private-road cartway edges. These detailed parcel conditions remain unresolved by the 72-hour limit.
May guests sleep inside?
The zoning definition treats an RV as leisure/travel equipment, generally at most 400 square feet on a single chassis, self-propelled or towable, and not a dwelling unit. The parking limit does not authorize occupancy, utilities or a guest campsite. This guide covers Sewickley Borough, not Sewickley Township, New Sewickley or Sewickley Heights.
What should I confirm before parking?
Confirm the parcel and legal yard boundaries with municipal zoning staff. Ask whether the proposed surface, setbacks, access, drainage and required parking spaces comply, and whether later ordinances apply. For a street or public lot, ask Police about posted restrictions and the intended activity. Owner permission, private covenants and utility approvals remain separate. An unoccupied storage rule does not approve sleeping, repairs or utility connections.
Who to contact for your setup
Contact Sewickley Borough zoning staff about the parcel, vehicle classification and intended use. Contact local Police for street restrictions and loading. Do not rely on a postal city name alone.
