Jurisdiction and research scope
Town of Trumbull, Connecticut only. Sources read November 6, 2026. The Town’s posted compilation is amended through August 19, 2026. It was adopted June 25, 2008 and effective July 25, 2008. This guide applies Article II §1.1.2(5), with Article IV §2 as context. The checker is limited to the Residence AAA, AA and A route in Article II §1.1.2(5), not every residential district or separate approval.

Trumbull RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | One RV or boat per lot in the covered AAA, AA and A route; RV maximum 28 feet by 8.5 feet. |
| street | No street-parking permission established by the accessory-use route. |
| guest | Human occupancy is prohibited under the temporary-parking provision. |
Which RVs fit the temporary-parking route?
Article II §1.1.2(5) names camper-trailers, mobile homes and pop-up trailers, limits RVs to 28 feet in length and 8.5 feet in width, and allows no more than one such RV or boat on a residential lot. The vehicle must have a valid Connecticut registration and be owned by the occupant of the premises.
This checker deliberately covers the Residence AAA, AA and A accessory-use route. Other residence zones and vehicle classifications require their own zoning answer. Do not treat the boat allowance as an additional RV space.
Where can it go on the lot?
The listed positions are a rear yard at least 25 feet from the side line and 25 feet from the rear line, or a front yard at least 150 feet from the street line. A normal front driveway is not enough merely because it is paved.
A corner lot has an additional street-side condition: 40 feet to a point 100 feet back from the front property line; beyond that point the side-yard depth must equal the required front-yard depth of the lot immediately adjoining the corner lot’s rear line. Confirm a survey-based location with zoning staff.
What screening is required?
The RV or boat must be shielded from neighbors’ view by four-foot-high densely growing evergreens, excluding white pine, and must not be visible from the street. A cover or generic fence is not a substitute for that specific evergreen condition.
All these conditions operate together. Meeting the length limit does not waive the registration, ownership, location, count or screening requirements.
Can guests sleep in it, and how long may it stay?
The provision expressly prohibits human occupancy. It describes the parking as temporary but supplies no numerical time limit in this clause. That omission does not establish indefinite storage or a particular number of legal days.
Article IV §2 likewise treats temporary RV parking as subject to the referenced residential conditions. Street parking, actual loading, repairs and utility work need separate answers. Confirm the proposed duration and any private covenants with the Town before relying on the route.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Trumbull planning or zoning staff about the exact property, vehicle classification, proposed use, approvals and later amendments. Ask police about street restrictions. Confirm lease, HOA and deed restrictions separately.
Use the Trumbull parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
