Wells Township (Tuscola County) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Property with an occupied single-family dwelling | Section 12.15B permits a selected outdoor storage route for motor homes or campers, excluding mobile homes, with no more than two such units on the property. Occupancy of such an RV is limited to 180 days in a calendar year. That occupancy limit is not converted here into a180-day cap on unoccupied storage at a qualifying occupied dwelling. |
| Property without an occupied single-family dwelling | Section 12.15C, replaced by adopted Amendment 100-06, limits the selected storage or use route to two RVs and 180 days in any calendar year. A vacant house does not automatically qualify as an occupied single-family dwelling. The annual limit is not a per-visit allowance. |
| Permit and visible posting | The board’s May 11,2023 policy implementing 100-06 requires an application and issued recreational permit before use, with a term of no more than 180 days in a calendar year. Both vehicle and property ownership information, entry/exit dates and inspection authorization are requested. An issued permit must be posted on the RV where visible from the road or access point. This checker tests clear sleeping/living use without an occupied dwelling; it does not assume every unoccupied-storage situation triggers the same permit interpretation. |
| Vacant-property structures and separate construction routes | The policy bars accessory structures, buildings or additions on the vacant property where the RV is located, listing roof-overs, sheds, garages, pole barns, decks and concrete pads. Section 12.09 separately addresses permitted temporary dwellings during construction or casualty recovery, including specific conditions and possible renewal. Those routes and site-specific exceptions are excluded from this checker, not silently overruled. |

Permit and visible posting
The board’s May 11,2023 policy implementing 100-06 requires an application and issued recreational permit before use, with a term of no more than 180 days in a calendar year. Both vehicle and property ownership information, entry/exit dates and inspection authorization are requested. An issued permit must be posted on the RV where visible from the road or access point. This checker tests clear sleeping/living use without an occupied dwelling; it does not assume every unoccupied-storage situation triggers the same permit interpretation.
Vacant-property structures and separate construction routes
The policy bars accessory structures, buildings or additions on the vacant property where the RV is located, listing roof-overs, sheds, garages, pole barns, decks and concrete pads. Section 12.09 separately addresses permitted temporary dwellings during construction or casualty recovery, including specific conditions and possible renewal. Those routes and site-specific exceptions are excluded from this checker, not silently overruled.
What these checks leave unresolved
Meeting the selected count or annual period does not establish permission to camp, connect utilities or park on a road. Sanitation, zoning permits, vehicle classification, site conditions and other rules still need confirmation. RVs converted into storage buildings and cargo/storage containers have separate provisions; sleeping here is evaluated as occupancy, not as a new blanket living prohibition.
Current source and later amendment review
The current official ordinance index links the code, adopted 100-06, the RV policy and later 100-07/08/09 texts. Amendment 100-07 changes specified parcel zoning;100-08 concerns cargo/storage containers and accessory-building provisions;100-09 concerns battery energy storage. The selected 12.15 text is read with those actual later bodies, not from a compilation date alone. Current notices schedule November 10 hearings for a home-occupation application under 5.02B and a parcel rezoning postponed from October 27; these are not adopted RV amendments. This bounded review is not a complete record of every later board action; confirm current parcel restrictions before relying on the route.
