Webber Township RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Annual permit and visible address | Section 4 requires an annual camping permit and a property address visible from the roadway. The stated season runs May 1 through April 30. That full permit-year wording is not a promise of unlimited continuous occupancy or a substitute for the temporary-occupancy definition. |
| Minimum area and camper counts | Sections 4 and 5 require at least 9,000 square feet for one camper. Away from the overlapping endpoints, the listed bands allow one camper below one acre, two above one and below two acres, three above two and below five acres, and at most four above five acres. The list applies in any zoning district, but does not waive other applicable controls. |
| Exactly one, two or five acres needs confirmation | The count table uses “up to” and then starts the next band at the same acreage. This guide does not choose between those overlapping bands at exactly one, two or five acres. Ask the township which count applies to the actual parcel. A boundary uncertainty does not erase separate permit, minimum-area, address or sanitation requirements. |
| Sanitation follows the actual equipment | Section 7 requires septic systems to have District Health Department #10 approval. Without a septic system, a portable or compost toilet is required unless the camper is self-contained. Self-contained units must use sanitary removal services. A checked utilities box does not establish any of these facts. |
Confirm temporary camping in this township
This guide concerns Webber Township in Lake County, Michigan. A postal address does not prove township jurisdiction. The ordinance defines a camper or RV as a portable structure for temporary living and camping as temporary occupancy. The selected checker does not decide permanent residential use, public-road camping, campground approval or special rights.
Annual permit and visible address
Section 4 requires an annual camping permit and a property address visible from the roadway. The stated season runs May 1 through April 30. That full permit-year wording is not a promise of unlimited continuous occupancy or a substitute for the temporary-occupancy definition.
Minimum area and camper counts
Sections 4 and 5 require at least 9,000 square feet for one camper. Away from the overlapping endpoints, the listed bands allow one camper below one acre, two above one and below two acres, three above two and below five acres, and at most four above five acres. The list applies in any zoning district, but does not waive other applicable controls.
Exactly one, two or five acres needs confirmation
The count table uses “up to” and then starts the next band at the same acreage. This guide does not choose between those overlapping bands at exactly one, two or five acres. Ask the township which count applies to the actual parcel. A boundary uncertainty does not erase separate permit, minimum-area, address or sanitation requirements.
Sanitation follows the actual equipment
Section 7 requires septic systems to have District Health Department #10 approval. Without a septic system, a portable or compost toilet is required unless the camper is self-contained. Self-contained units must use sanitary removal services. A checked utilities box does not establish any of these facts.
Accessory buildings have separate conditions
Section 6 identifies customary recreational improvements, including non-habitable roof-overs. In residential districts it describes one single-story detached storage building no larger than 200 square feet. The provision for parcels of at least one acre remains subject to applicable zoning, setbacks and building codes; it is not unlimited building permission. Land use permits are required for accessory buildings.
Tents and other uses are not the same route
Section 8 limits tents to temporary use, prohibits long-term tent occupancy and requires removal when not in use. Those tent provisions are not converted into an invented numeric RV stay limit. Ordinary unoccupied RV storage and roadway parking need their own applicable rules.
What was checked and what remains uncertain
The current official index links the signed ordinance adopted May 28, 2026. Section 12 provides effectiveness seven days after publication; the checker does not calculate a date from a website upload. The index also links an older seasonal form and labels its zoning book a draft. Do not import older form conditions or proposed zoning text as current law. Bounded June–August minutes review found no replacement of these selected camping provisions; later unlisted enactments and parcel-specific requirements still need confirmation.
