Seasonal street parking
November 1–April 30, RVs cannot remain more than 48 continuous hours on town streets or municipal parking areas. Moving between those spaces does not reset the clock. May 1–October 31, at most one RV, trailer or bus may use qualifying residential frontage. Out-of-state units have a two-week annual visitation/event cap.
Frontage and Second Street
Use frontage owned or rented by the vehicle owner, or obtain written permission from an adjoining residential owner. Second Street between Cottonwood and Willow allows only loading/unloading up to 48 hours throughout the year. Keep the vehicle licensed, operable and safe; do not overhang sidewalks or travel lanes.
Driveway storage and occupation
Section 5-5-3 permits at most one RV or trailer in a residential front setback on an approved driveway surface. Street or municipal-lot living is prohibited. Water hoses and electric cords on public ways must lie flat without tripping hazards; these clauses do not authorize private sleeping or all utility connections.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Ten Sleep Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the Ten Sleep parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
