Westmont RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Start with the housing type and actual yard | Section 7.21 applies to lots occupied by a detached house, semi-detached house or two-unit house. Confirm the actual village boundary and zoning yard; a postal address or a driveway label does not establish either. Multi-unit buildings, parks and commercial sites need a different review. |
| Ten days is an aggregate rolling limit | Temporary parking may occur in rear, side or street yards only on a driveway. Count all parking days within any 30 consecutive days, whether consecutive or separate. Exactly 10 aggregate days does not exceed this limit; day 11 does. Moving away for a day does not reset the rolling count. This is not permission to sleep in the vehicle. |
| Count RVs and recreational equipment separately | Outside the temporary-driveway route, the rule allows at most one RV and one item of recreational equipment or utility trailer in a side or rear yard. It does not allow two RVs. One equipment item can mean one non-motorized vehicle carrying no more than one watercraft, or no more than two snowmobiles, personal watercraft or specialty prop-craft. Street-yard storage is not allowed. |
| Use an improved surface with access | Parking and storage require an appropriately sized hard improved surface, such as asphalt, brick pavers or concrete, with reasonable access to a public right-of-way. Section 9.07(A) driveway design standards also apply. Grass or a convenient unapproved patch is not cleared. Existing surfaces do not automatically establish all permits, drainage or setback compliance. |
Start with the housing type and actual yard
Section 7.21 applies to lots occupied by a detached house, semi-detached house or two-unit house. Confirm the actual village boundary and zoning yard; a postal address or a driveway label does not establish either. Multi-unit buildings, parks and commercial sites need a different review.
Ten days is an aggregate rolling limit
Temporary parking may occur in rear, side or street yards only on a driveway. Count all parking days within any 30 consecutive days, whether consecutive or separate. Exactly 10 aggregate days does not exceed this limit; day 11 does. Moving away for a day does not reset the rolling count. This is not permission to sleep in the vehicle.
Count RVs and recreational equipment separately
Outside the temporary-driveway route, the rule allows at most one RV and one item of recreational equipment or utility trailer in a side or rear yard. It does not allow two RVs. One equipment item can mean one non-motorized vehicle carrying no more than one watercraft, or no more than two snowmobiles, personal watercraft or specialty prop-craft. Street-yard storage is not allowed.
Use an improved surface with access
Parking and storage require an appropriately sized hard improved surface, such as asphalt, brick pavers or concrete, with reasonable access to a public right-of-way. Section 9.07(A) driveway design standards also apply. Grass or a convenient unapproved patch is not cleared. Existing surfaces do not automatically establish all permits, drainage or setback compliance.
Check ownership, licensing and removability
On residentially zoned land, the owner or occupant of the property must own the vehicle or equipment. Covered items must be properly licensed. Removing wheels, affixing the unit to the ground, or otherwise preventing ready removal is not allowed. A borrowed RV or visitor’s RV does not automatically meet the ordinary-storage ownership requirement. The temporary paragraph begins with an override clause; the checker leaves disputed interactions with these conditions for the village rather than resolving them silently.
Storage is not a guest-room permission
The ordinance prohibits living, sleeping and business uses in the covered vehicles and equipment. A short driveway stay does not create an overnight guest exception. Utility hookups are not approved by the selected parking provisions and remain a separate question. The checker flags known conflicts but does not certify every parcel or driveway requirement.
Use the village’s amended PDF, not an older code view
The village identifies the May 28, 2026 PDF as the operative zoning text while codification is pending. Its amendment page states the comprehensive 2025 changes became effective August 25, 2025 and the May 2026 maintenance amendments are effective. The village also warns older permit guides can have outdated zoning references. Verify later amendments and property-specific approvals before relying on a result.
Who to contact for your setup

Use the Westmont parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
