Jurisdiction and research scope
South Hutchinson limits ordinary private-property RV guest occupancy to seven consecutive days and 30 days per calendar year, with owner consent and no compensation. City-sewer connections are prohibited. This is a focused occupancy screen, not complete parking or permit approval.

South Hutchinson RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Public street | The guest exception is for private property, not street sleeping permission. |
| Driveway | Confirm lawful parking separately; guest occupancy has consent, compensation and time conditions. |
| Residential yard | No blanket yard-storage permission follows from the occupancy article. |
| Sleeping or living | Ordinary guest route: up to seven consecutive days and 30 days per calendar year; special permits are separate. |
Temporary stays need both time limits
8-903(a) caps ordinary private-property guest use at seven consecutive days and 30 total days in a calendar year. A stay at exactly either limit is within that numerical ceiling, not automatic property approval. Include the planned stay in the yearly total.
Get consent and do not charge
The private-property exception requires the owner’s consent and forbids rent or other compensation. It is not a short-term rental license. Confirm that parking itself is lawful; the occupancy exception does not eliminate yard, access, setback or traffic rules.
Know which exception applies
The checker addresses ordinary guest occupancy, not city-approved RV parks, construction or renovation permits, or hardship approvals. If one of those special routes is claimed, have the city review it instead of applying the ordinary guest limits as an absolute prohibition.
Construction and renovation use
A property owner or contractor needs a valid building permit and a city temporary permit before occupancy. Habitation must end within 30 days after completion; parking afterward is a separate issue.
Hardship and designated parks
City Council may grant a hardship permit after a natural disaster, fire or other emergency for up to 90 days, with extensions subject to Council approval. City-approved RV parks must comply with zoning and licensing rules.
Utilities and unoccupied storage
Section 8-902(c) prohibits camper/RV connections to city sewer. No general water or electrical approval follows from the guest exception. Unoccupied storage and street parking require their own rules; this guide does not invent a universal driveway, yard or street allowance.
