Behind the setback line
Section 452.18 requires residential off-street RV storage behind the regular building setback line, normally in side or rear yards. The front-driveway allowance for ordinary personal-transportation vehicles is not a general RV storage exception.
Limited driveway preparation
An RV can use a driveway for up to 72 continuous hours for winterizing, unloading for storage, seasonal preparation or preparing for family trips. Ordinary long-term storage does not qualify.
Surface and scope
Driveways must be hard-surfaced where another ordinance requires it; otherwise gravel or nuisance-dust control applies. The 2026 S-7 code is the reviewed edition. Public parking, occupancy and hookups need separate authority.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. No street, camping, utility or zoning relief approval.
Use the Vermilion parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
