RV parking rules in Vernon

Vernon RV parking at a glance

Occupancy is different from storage

Appendix A §708.7A prohibits occupying a camper, travel trailer or RV temporarily or permanently while parked or stored anywhere within incorporated city limits, except in an authorized mobile-home or RV park or an applicable section exception. That occupancy restriction does not itself grant permission to store an unoccupied RV or park on a street. Those two questions remain unresolved by this narrowly scoped checker.

New-home construction variance

Under §708.7B the Community Development Director may grant a variance for up to one year for property owners to live in a covered vehicle while building a new home. A new-home building permit must already be issued and current, and the RV must be on the same property as the new home. Meeting those descriptions does not itself grant the variance. The current text incorporates Ordinances 1852 of April 28, 2026 and 1857 of June 23, 2026; this guide does not rely on older, differently worded coverage.

Parks and workforce housing need separate approval

Section 708.7C-E limits travel-trailer park density to fifteen units per acre, requires RV pad sites at least twenty-five feet wide and requires an RV park to have at least half an acre of vacant land. These are not a complete park-approval checklist. Section 709.4, added by Ordinance 1875 on August 25, 2026, establishes a separate temporary-workforce-housing route in the H-I district using a special-exception permit and project-specific conditions. Authorized parks, construction variances and workforce housing are excluded from the ordinary occupancy prohibition result until their actual approvals are reviewed.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm the proposal with the municipality. Limited administrative screening only, not a permit or complete legal approval. Current Article VII contains the April and June 2026 RV changes and August 2026 workforce-housing addition. The later ordinance list contains October 2026 personnel and person-specific public-safety/residency changes, not an ordinary RV parking authorization. No complete residency clearance, park development, variance, temporary-workforce-housing, storage, street or utility approval. One year is not hard-coded as 365 days.

Use the Vernon parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
