West Carrollton RV parking at a glance

|---|---|

| Street | Not established by this off-street section. |
| Occupancy | No living or housekeeping; narrow temporary-maintenance utility exception. |
Front driveways have two routes
Ordinary front-yard RV parking requires a paved driveway and dimensions no greater than 19 feet long, excluding a trailer tongue, 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet high. Every street-facing yard of a corner lot counts as a front yard. A separate temporary provision permits one RV on a paved front driveway for at most 72 consecutive hours within any seven-day period.
Side and rear storage depends on vehicle and surface
Any size RV may occupy a paved side or rear area. A nonmotorized RV may instead use an unpaved side or rear area if the ground under and immediately around it stays free of noxious weeds, overgrowth and debris. Except for the temporary front-driveway route, the RV must be owned and titled to a resident of the property.
Living and utility connections are restricted
RVs cannot be used for living or housekeeping. Electricity, gas and sanitary sewer connections are barred except for temporary maintenance. The checker does not decide maintenance connections or use that exception as permission to camp. Legally established pre-January 2002 storage can have nonconforming rights; discontinuance for 12 consecutive months or conformance can end those rights, so such cases require individual review.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm your exact address and proposal with the local zoning office. Other laws and private restrictions remain applicable.
