Tell City RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard storage | The cited provision does not establish permission for this use; confirm the separate land-use or traffic rules. The cited provision does not establish permission for this use; confirm the separate land-use or traffic rules. |
| Street / loading | Trailers: at most two calendar days/week; other covered vehicles: one per owner in front of primary residence. No general extra loading period; Inspector may set trailer period for building-permitted site. |
| Sleeping / hookups | The cited provision does not establish permission for this use; confirm the separate land-use or traffic rules. Parking permission does not establish utility-connection approval. |
Trailer days are calendar days
Any part of a calendar day counts toward the two-day limit, and the days need not be consecutive. A trailer in front of a site with a building permit may receive a different period from the Building Inspector; the permit alone does not establish that period.
Motorhomes and campers at home
For covered vehicles other than trailers, only one vehicle per owner may be in the right-of-way, and it must be in front of the owner’s primary residence. This is not a visitor-parking exception for a guest’s motorhome.
Roadworthiness and sleeping
Every covered vehicle must remain in good working order and comply with Indiana traffic laws, including registration and reflective equipment. The street-parking provision does not authorize sleeping, hookups or residential occupancy, and it does not settle private-yard storage.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Tell City Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm the governing parcel, district, vehicle classification, exact position, duration and intended use. Ask the road authority about street restrictions and the building or health official about utilities and occupied use. Private covenants, leases and easements remain separate.
Use the Tell City parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
