| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Street | Ordinary RV and trailer street parking prohibited; emergency situations need separate review. |

| Guest sleeping | Guests of the resident: up to 21 calendar days per year with all parking and setback conditions. |

May an RV be parked on a West Jordan street?
The City’s Planning FAQ lists recreational vehicles, trailers and similar equipment among prohibited street-parking categories. The linked traffic code has a separate emergency route; ordinary trip preparation is not an emergency. A short stop or a lack of a no-parking sign does not create an ordinary RV storage allowance.
The City also describes winter snow, sidewalk, mailbox, hydrant and access restrictions. These remain useful when planning a lawful vehicle stop, but do not override the RV restriction.

What does West Jordan require at home?
Section 13-8-14(C) requires complete, maintained and operable recreational equipment. Parking can extend toward the front but must remain at least three feet behind the sidewalk edge nearest the home. Without a sidewalk, keep at least ten feet behind the front property line. No part may cross a property line or sidewalk.
Do motorhomes and long trailers have different locations?
Read Table B with the general placement rule. Noncommercial motorhomes have a two-unit outdoor limit and side/rear locations behind a wall or opaque fence; the side position is behind the front façade. Trailers longer than 25 feet have a two-unit limit and the listed outdoor route is the rear yard. Trailers shorter than 25 feet have broader listed locations. The table does not settle exactly 25 feet, so confirm that boundary with the City.
The surface must cover the unit’s full length and width. Permitted materials include asphalt, concrete, grasscrete, pavers, turf block and qualifying rock or gravel. Loose aggregate needs at least four inches of depth; gravel mix must be at least ¾-inch size. Confirm water-source protection overlays too.
Where does West Jordan’s table put a trailer exactly 25 feet long?
The inspected table names trailers shorter than 25 feet and trailers longer than 25 feet without resolving exactly 25 feet. Neither category should be selected as a favorable assumption at that boundary. Ask Planning to identify the applicable row and how it measures your actual trailer.
A model number or advertised body length does not establish the complete measurement. Supply the manufacturer's details, the proposed parked footprint and the legal yard. Keep the answer with the plan. §13-8-14 and Table B retain their surface, location and screening conditions regardless of this classification question.
Can guests stay in a parked RV?
The residential section allows guests of the resident to occupy a qualifying RV for no more than 21 calendar days per year, with all setbacks met. Count prior guest occupancy and the proposed visit. This is a guest route, not a general ongoing dwelling approval. Keep the unit’s legal location, surface, screening and operability separate from the occupancy total.
What about loading, repairs and utilities?
The ordinary home route can support trip preparation if every parking condition remains met. The street restriction still applies. Planned repairs and utility connections need separate City review; this checker does not approve electrical work, water connections or wastewater discharge.
Which permit or approval should I ask about?
West Jordan’s ordinary street RV restriction is not removed by trip preparation. Ask Planning or Police about an actual claimed exception before relying on one. Check West Jordan, UT’s permit routes and limits. The directory links back to these full local conditions and keeps unverified routes explicit.
How do I find the zone for a West Jordan address?
Open the Planning page’s City Info Map, enter the address, click the parcel and read the “zone name” field. Confirm incorporated West Jordan rather than South Jordan or an unincorporated address. Bring a sketch, full trailer length, outdoor vehicle count and annual guest days to Planning. Ask how Table B applies to a camper or an exactly 25-foot trailer before relying on a location.
Use the Utah city comparison when choosing another location; West Jordan’s street prohibition and 21-day guest route are not statewide permissions.
Who to contact for your setup
Bring the exact address, vehicle dimensions, parking sketch and dates to West Jordan Planning or Code Enforcement. Ask Parking Enforcement about the specific street block.
Use the West Jordan parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
