Warrensburg RV parking at a glance

Location and use matter. Confirm the property's jurisdiction and every applicable condition.
Location or useWhat to check
First confirm the narrow travel-trailer definition

Chapter939 uses its own definition, not every generic RV label: a portable chassis-built temporary travel/recreation/vacation dwelling, with body width no more than 8 feet and either gross weight no more than 4,500 pounds or body length no more than 29 feet. A wider unit fails this definition even if short. Do not assume a motorhome falls within it.

Street stopping is a limited exception

Section 939-27 begins with a ban outside licensed mobile-home parks. Section 939-28 allows emergency or temporary street, alley or highway stopping for no longer than two hours, subject to all other traffic and parking restrictions. A two-hour stop is not sleeping permission.

Private lots have a30-day rule

Section 939-29 limits travel-trailer parking on private lots to no more than 30 days. It separately restricts use to sleeping purposes only and prohibits cooking of any kind in the trailer. These clauses do not establish complete zoning, accommodation or utility clearance.

Do not repair the owner-storage cross-reference yourself

Section 939-30 allows owners to store their own travel trailers on their own premises without the30-day maximum. It refers to section 939-28 even though the30-day private-lot rule is in939-29. The checker preserves that inconsistency and sends owner-storage arrangements for village interpretation instead of silently choosing an intended rule.

Electrical cords have specific placement rules

An electrical outlet may be provided only with a village-compliant installation. Connected extension cords may not lie on the ground or be suspended less than 7 feet above the ground; buried cords are separately mentioned as permissible. This does not approve a particular buried installation, or water, sewer or gas hookups.

Keep licensed parks and currentness separate

Licensed mobile-home parks are outside this private-lot checker. The official publisher’s compilation includes legislation through November 28, 2023; its New Laws page showed no pending laws at October 27, 2026 review. Absence from that listing does not prove no later law exists. Confirm the current parcel and any approvals with the village.

Who to contact for your setup

Use the official sources to ask the village about current zoning, parcel conditions, exceptions and approvals. This site does not issue permission or contact officials.

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