Sec. 59-16(h) of the North Port Code prohibits living, sleeping, or camping in a vehicle or boat on a residential lot for more than 30 consecutive days. Vehicles deemed 'stored' (not moved in 5 consecutive days) trigger additional restrictions, and trucks/buses/semis cannot be stored on residential rights-of-way overnight (Sec. 74-92).
The 30-day camping/inhabiting cap in Sec. 59-16(h) is designed to prevent permanent informal occupancy of RVs and boats on residential lots while still allowing visiting family or short-term stays. The 5-day storage test in Sec. 59-16(a)(12) determines whether a vehicle counts as 'stored' (and therefore subject to additional storage rules). Sec. 74-92 supplements this by prohibiting storage of trucks, buses, truck tractors, semis, dump trucks, bucket trucks, and construction equipment on residential rights-of-way overnight - again with the active-construction exception.
Violations of Sec. 59-16(h) are Code Enforcement matters resolved through the special master, with fines up to $500/day until cured. Sec. 74-92 violations are processed through NPPD parking enforcement with Sec. 74-84 payment procedure.
