Recreational vehicles in Osceola County are defined as travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers and motor homes. They can't be parked in a front yard or on unpaved areas, and heavy vehicles over 15,000 lbs GVW must be enclosed and shielded from view in affected residential areas.
Osceola County addresses oversized vehicles two ways. Section 22-26 defines a recreational vehicle as vehicular-type units primarily designed as temporary living quarters — travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers and motor homes. Under § 22-50.4 these may not be parked in the front yard, on unpaved areas, on vacant lots or in the right-of-way; permitted spots are the approved paved area or an enclosed accessory structure. Separately, Chapter 23, Article III requires a 'large vehicle' — over 15,000 pounds GVW (§ 23-54) — to be kept in a garage or enclosed structure fully shielded from public view in affected residential areas, though RVs and boat-trailer combinations are exempt from that rule. HOAs and cities may add stricter storage limits.
Enforced by code enforcement under Chapter 7; civil citations of $250 apply unless otherwise set, and continuing nuisance violations may be fined up to $250/day (first) or $500/day (repeat).
