Union RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| driveway | Defined camping or recreational equipment may be parked or stored in a residential garage, carport or driveway with a current valid road license. |
| yard | Parking or storing that equipment in the yard of a residence is prohibited. |
| guest | The storage provision does not establish sleeping, living or guest-camping permission. |
| street | Public parking is prohibited outside the qualified emergency or temporary street-stop exception, which cannot exceed 48 hours. |
| loading | Detached-trailer and heavy-commercial-vehicle restrictions remain separate; actual loading and service exceptions do not waive other rules. |
| hookups | No general RV utility-connection permission is established. |
| uncertainty | October 12, 2026 ordinances added no-parking segments on Mulberry Street and Springfield Avenue; the temporary-stop limit cannot override these or current signs. |
Use a residential garage, carport or driveway
Section 405.635(A)(15)(a) permits private parking or storage of defined camping and recreational equipment in residential zoning districts in a garage, carport or driveway. The equipment must carry the current valid license required for road use.
Do not move ordinary storage into the yard
The same provision expressly excludes a residence’s yard. A side or rear yard is not automatically permissible just because the RV is behind the home. Confirm that the actual placement is a qualifying parking location.
Public places have a different rule
Section 365.100 prohibits parking defined camping and recreational equipment on streets, alleys, highways and other public places. An emergency or temporary stop on an alley, street or highway is limited to forty-eight hours and remains subject to every other restriction.
Check the new street restrictions too
Ordinance 4881 adds the east side of Mulberry Street from State Street to Wally Avenue to the no-parking schedule. Ordinance 4882 adds specified north- and south-side Springfield Avenue segments around Main Street. Read the exact adopted limits and current signs; a stop shorter than forty-eight hours is not automatically lawful.
Detached trailers and commercial classes need separate checks
Section 365.080 separately addresses detached trailers, heavy commercial vehicles and unlicensed equipment. Do not apply the camping-equipment temporary exception as a blanket waiver of those restrictions.
A storage answer is not permission to live in the RV
This checker covers the defined vehicle class and unoccupied storage only. It does not approve utility connections, camping, commercial uses or a conditional-use arrangement. Ordinance 4870 separately requires effective conditional-use permits to be memorialized by ordinance.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask Union city staff to confirm the actual address, vehicle classification, zoning and any required permits. Read the current official provisions and later-law index below.
Use the Union parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
