How long may an RV stay on a St. George street?
Does the 96-hour street limit allow camping?
Section 6-2-6 limits any vehicle or trailer on a street or alley to 96 consecutive hours. This is a local four-day ceiling, not a general camping permit. Shorter signs, restricted locations, vehicle classification and obstruction rules still apply. Confirm the full planned stay and block conditions before relying on a shorter stop.
Can I store an RV on a St. George driveway?
The City’s RV FAQ allows driveway parking without obstructing a sidewalk or street, while directing RVs out of front setbacks and identified landscape areas. Its setback FAQ notes that 25 feet is typical, Bloomington Hills uses 20 feet, and a corner lot has two front setbacks.
The general §10-19-4(A)(6), amended in August 2025, permits vehicles in a front setback on an approved paved surface and side-front-setback parking on gravel. That general wording and the RV-specific FAQ need a City interpretation for an RV remaining within a front setback. The checker therefore leaves that situation unresolved rather than granting blanket front-driveway permission.
Which front setback matters for an RV on a St. George corner lot?
Show both street frontages. The City's FAQ says a corner lot has two front setbacks, so moving the RV beside the house does not establish that it is outside the street-side front setback. Plot the full vehicle against both applicable lines using the parcel's actual standards rather than assuming the typical setback applies everywhere.
The RV-specific FAQ and amended general front-surface wording still require a City interpretation for an RV inside a front setback. Ask Code Enforcement to identify the controlling route for the sketch. Start with the City RV/setback FAQ; the existence of pavement alone does not resolve that overlap.
What is the clearer home-storage route?
A side location outside the applicable front setbacks, on a compliant parking surface and with confirmed parcel conditions, follows the City’s RV guidance. The FAQ lists concrete, asphalt and gravel as examples consistent with Parking Lot Standards. Keep landscape areas, sidewalks, access and the entire RV footprint clear. Confirm a rear-yard route or any new parking construction with Planning.
Can guests camp in the RV?
Section 4-3-1(C) prohibits residential-lot RV habitation, lodging or camping unless the use is authorized under the residential-use rules. An ordinary stored RV does not become guest accommodation automatically.
Section 6-2-10(C) separately prohibits temporary sleeping or camping on City property at any time, except approved campgrounds, lawful signage or applicable special-event authorization. Another provision addresses occupied public RVs for more than 30 minutes from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.; it does not erase the broader camping restriction. The 96-hour unoccupied parking clock must never be advertised as four nights of camping.
How do repairs and wastewater affect the plan?
Trip loading retains all parking controls. Under §6-2-10, roadway-related repair or servicing is restricted to emergencies. Section 4-3-1 requires wastewater from RV fixtures to enter the sewer system rather than streets, lots or stormwater systems. This is a disposal requirement, not permission to install an unapproved household sewer connection. Confirm all hookups separately.
Who should confirm the exact St. George property?
Verify incorporated St. George rather than Washington City, Santa Clara, Ivins or unincorporated Washington County. Bring the parcel zoning, approved parking plan, setback measurements and RV footprint to Code Enforcement or Planning. The City Code Enforcement page gives contacts through 435-627-4000 and access to its GIS map. Ask specifically how the RV FAQ and the amended front-surface provision apply to your driveway.
Use the Utah comparison for another covered city on your route; St. George’s 96-hour parking limit does not apply throughout Utah.
Who to contact for your setup
Bring the exact address, vehicle dimensions, parking sketch and dates to St. George Planning or Code Enforcement. Ask Parking Enforcement about the specific street block.
Use the St. George parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
