RV & Boat Parking
โHeavy RestrictionsChicago does not allow recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers to park on public streets for more than 24 hours. This applies to all neighborhoods citywide. If your RV or boat is over 22 feet long, it can't park on any residential street at all, even briefly. There's no annual pass or permit system to get around this โ you need off-street parking. The city actively tickets during winter months when street sweeping and snow removal make oversized vehicles an even bigger problem. Fines are $150 per ticket and your vehicle can be towed after 7 days.
