Can I keep an RV in my driveway year-round?
Section 240-104C(1), amended February 8, 2023 by Ordinance 1-2023, prohibits front-yard RV parking or storage in any R Residential Zoning District. It allows side/rear parking or storage from Memorial Day to Labor Day with a current license or registration and valid inspection sticker. A front-yard driveway is not a separate exception.
What happens outside the summer season?
The text prohibits permanent parking or storage before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. It does not state an automatic number of hours for temporary off-season loading or parking. Ask the Township how it classifies the actual duration and purpose instead of treating every short stay as allowed.
Can visitors live in the RV?
Section 240-104C(2) says a parked or stored RV may not at any time be occupied or used as a dwelling. Seasonal storage permission does not authorize guest accommodation, utilities or residence.
Which South Fayette location is covered?
Only parcels within South Fayette Township, Allegheny County. A Bridgeville, McDonald or Oakdale mailing address is not proof of the municipality. The broad zoning RV definition includes self-propelled and towed recreational equipment; confirm unusual vehicles with zoning staff.
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 South Fayette Township 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.
Use the South Fayette Township parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
