York RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Driveway / yard | Parking without occupancy is not conclusively addressed by the occupancy clause. Winter setback provision only in named zones. |
| Street / loading | Public-road parking not established. No general RV loading grace period established by these sources. |
| Sleeping / utilities | Same one-unit, one-week annual non-campground occupancy cap; no separate guest exemption. Private hookup permission not established; campground water/sewage standards are separate. |
Overnight occupancy
On any lot other than a campground, maximum one RV and one week of overnight occupancy per calendar year. Additional units or longer occupancy prohibited.
Winter storage
§7.3 applies only YBVC, RES-5, RES-6, RES-7: outdoor winter storage of vacant camper/trailer vehicles on residential property must observe lot-line setbacks. If lot size prevents compliance, apply to Planning Board, which determines placement as inoffensive as possible.
Campground distinction
§7.2 separates BUS-2 campground conditions from other zones; non-BUS-2 facilities require water/sewer/sanitary facilities meeting state rules. This is not private-driveway utility approval.
Who to contact for your setup
Ask York Planning or Code Enforcement to confirm jurisdiction, the actual parcel or road, vehicle classification, position, duration and intended use. Obtain the required road, building, electrical, plumbing or wastewater approvals before relying on a parking exception. Easements, HOA rules and leases remain separate. Start with the official rule or permit guidance.
Use the York parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
