Peoria County limits how many recreational vehicles you can keep outside a home in the unincorporated county. On platted lots and residential parcels, no more than two RVs are allowed, and one parked in a front-yard driveway can stay only forty days a year. Farm-zoned A-1 and A-2 acreage gets more flexibility, but every RV still needs a three-foot setback from side and rear lot lines.
