Driveways and yard surfaces
Section 154.046 requires front yards and street-abutting side yards to use a driveway. For a rear yard or side yard abutting another lot, both parking area and driveway access require at least four inches of crushed stone. Multi-family properties, including duplexes, require a driveway for front, side or rear yard RV parking.
Vehicle count and maintenance
No more than two recreational vehicles, counting boats and trailers, may park on an ordinary lot, including its driveway, in any zoning district. Permitted RV sales businesses have a stated count exception and are not evaluated here. Parking spaces and access must not leave unsightly or poorly maintained conditions such as mud, ruts or tall vegetation.
Streets, living and business use
RV parking on public streets, rights-of-way and alleys requires city approval. Camping trailers and similar RVs cannot serve as living quarters outside a camping trailer park, or as offices or other commercial uses. Construction trailers may be used as field offices on large construction sites at the Code Official’s discretion. Permitted camping parks and permitted trailer sales lots are excluded from this section and require separate review.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the address and proposal with the local planning or police office before relying on this limited rule check. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
Use the Troy parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
