RV parking rules in Wilson

Wilson RV parking at a glance

Two outdoor units and a detached dwelling

Section 170-83H(7) applies to RVs not enclosed in a garage or other building. It allows two per dwelling and confines accessory residential RV parking to single-family detached dwellings. The defined group includes travel trailers, campers, boats, snowmobiles, ATVs and their trailers; the combined count is not limited to motorhomes. Official source.

Seven-foot setbacks and a special front-placement rule

Outdoor stored RVs must be at least seven feet from every property line. Placement between the street line and front building line or in front of the principal building is barred unless totally screened by fencing and vegetation or at least 100 feet from the dwelling’s front property line. The 100-foot alternative does not remove the seven-foot rule. Official source.

Residential sleeping and housekeeping are prohibited

H-7(e) bars using such a vehicle for living, sleeping or housekeeping when parked or stored on a residential lot, or at any location not approved for that use. Unoccupied storage permission is not guest-sleeping permission. Approved sites and asserted exceptional authorizations need individual review. Official source.

The storage presumption uses two thresholds together

H-7(g) presumes storage when the RV remains for more than seven consecutive days AND more than ten days in a calendar month. Exactly seven or exactly ten does not meet the presumption. Falling below it does not prove the activity is not storage and does not waive the other restrictions. Official source.

Selected conditions are not a zoning permit

Article XIII makes permitted uses subject to district rules, permits, yard and lot requirements, parking and other provisions. This checker identifies selected H-7 problems and never approves a property or use. Official source.

Who to contact for your setup

Confirm boundaries, actual authorization, site conditions and other applicable law with the local government. This administrative screen does not issue permission.
