RV parking rules in Snellville

Snellville RV parking at a glance

Location and surface

Where this limited use is allowed, covered equipment must be in an interior side or rear yard on concrete, paving or an approved grassed paving system connected to the driveway, or in a carport or enclosed roofed accessory structure in those yards.

Rear-yard distance

Rear-yard equipment outside a carport or enclosed structure must be at least 15 feet from the rear lot line and five feet from every side lot line.

Agricultural exception

Equipment actually used for on-site agricultural purposes on residential property of at least five acres is exempt from the hard-surface requirement if outside the required front setback. This is not an exemption for every RV on acreage and does not waive other rules.

Separate occupied-use questions

This accessory parking section does not establish guest sleeping, residence, utility hookups, street parking or a loading grace period.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm your address, zoning district and exact parking or occupancy plan with Snellville planning or code enforcement through the official source. For public streets, also ask the agency responsible for that road.

Use the Snellville parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
