One outdoor RV per family and the driveway distinction
Section 250-22K(3) permits outdoor storage only in a driveway, side yard or rear yard and limits each family to one RV outside a building. It does not say one RV per dwelling or one per adult. Chapter 235 separately forbids front-yard storage but expressly excludes a driveway from its front-yard definition. The permitted side/rear area must fit Chapter 235’s description, including the extension of the side building line to the rear lot line. A paved strip or a corner-lot street-side area is not automatically a qualifying driveway or yard. The checker requires that classification to be confirmed.

Road parking, vehicle definition and permanent placement
Section 235-2, amended August 18, 2020 by Ordinance 5-2020, prohibits parking or storage of the covered RVs on a road, street, highway or township-owned residential parking lot. The chapter’s vehicle definitions do not include customized vans or pickups with caps; this guide does not silently classify those as RVs. Section 235-3 forbids removing wheels or permanently affixing a unit so that it cannot readily move without the Construction Official’s permit, and such permitted placement becomes subject to construction codes. That exceptional route is excluded rather than inferred from ordinary storage.

No residence and the distinct September 2026 camping law
Section 250-22K(3) prohibits temporary or permanent residence in an RV on the residential-property route. Separately, Chapter 110, adopted September 15, 2026 by Ordinance 14-2026, regulates camping and obstruction in public areas. That chapter has explicit exceptions for permitted events, necessary transit/delivery and a person without available indoor housing, together with additional enforcement protections. It is not an unconditional blanket camping prohibition, and this checker does not decide those personal circumstances or override its exceptions. The public-parking result rests on Chapter 235, not a simplified reading of Chapter 110. Flood-hazard placement, utilities and municipal permits remain separate.

Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the proposal with the municipality. Limited administrative screening only, not a permit or complete legal approval. Current codified coverage includes September 15, 2026 Ordinance 14-2026; its full camping text was captured before a later web open became inaccessible. A raw-source request already underway before that later failure succeeded; it was not a retry. The new-law index lists only October 6, 2026 Ordinance 15-2026, identified as salaries, not a parking amendment; its full PDF could not subsequently be opened and no claim is made to have reviewed that salary text. No flood-hazard, immobilized-unit, commercial, public-camping exception or utility approval.
