West Bend (Town) RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Overnight ownership | Vehicles, boats, campers, recreational vehicles and trailers kept overnight on residential property must belong to the occupant of the dwelling unit. A guest invitation alone does not resolve that ownership condition. |
| Outdoor licensing and condition | When these vehicles are kept outdoors overnight on residential property, § 325-48C additionally requires proper licensing and operable condition. Indoor keeping does not erase the separate overnight ownership requirement. |
| Yards and the driveway exception | Overnight residential keeping must be in the side or rear yard, unless the vehicle is parked on the driveway in the street yard. A motor vehicle parked on a driveway must be entirely on the subject property. This is not an exception to every setback or access rule. |
| Habitation has two limits | An RV or camper on residential property may not be used for habitation for more than 14 days per calendar year or more than seven consecutive days. Both limits matter. Staying within either limit does not establish that the ownership, placement or other applicable conditions are met. |

Keep driveway access clear
Section 325-49 includes driveway permitting and design rules. All driveways must maintain at least 12 feet of unobstructed width and 15 feet of unobstructed vertical clearance. Longer driveways have turnaround and turnout provisions. The selected RV checker does not approve driveway design.
What the checker cannot approve
Public streets, campground operations, special approvals, utility connections and other accommodation permissions need separate review. Business-equipment rules are not generalized into a prohibition on every ordinary recreational vehicle.
