Recreational equipment loading
Section 326-31(A) bars parking/storage on borough streets, alleys and thoroughfares, with a loading/unloading exception no longer than seven days or 168 hours. A non-self-propelled unit must remain attached to a motorized vehicle bearing current plates and registration. The defined equipment includes boats and boat trailers, travel/tent trailers, pickup campers/coaches, motorized dwellings, buses and equipment-transport cases.

Utility trailers use a shorter limit
Section 326-31(B) prohibits ordinary street storage even when the utility trailer is attached. Its loading/unloading exception is no longer than 48 hours and requires attachment to a currently plated and registered motorized vehicle. The seven-day recreational-equipment allowance must not be substituted for this shorter utility-trailer rule.

Space and street restrictions still apply
Section 326-22 requires vehicles to fit within marked spaces. Section 326-23 prohibits blocked sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic or private driveways, parking within 20 feet of an intersection or 15 feet of a hydrant, and posted, metered or other restricted parking. Ordinance 747 added the signed southeast unit block of Mauch Chunk Street; Ordinance 750 added the north side of East End Avenue between South Elizabeth and Laurel Streets. These no-parking locations override a loading duration allowance.

Loading is not camping permission
Section 326-31(C) bars living, sleeping or housekeeping in recreational equipment at a location not approved for that use. No automatic guest-night exception appears in this provision. Obtain separate official approval before occupancy; this checker does not determine such approval or any private-yard zoning entitlement.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. Borough streets only, not neighboring township roads. Official new-law register reviewed through listed February 2026 legislation; both relevant 2025 traffic amendments read in full. No private-yard, guest permit, utility hookup or campground approval. Later signs and emergency directions still govern.
Use the Tamaqua parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
