Ada County limits inoperable, dismantled or unregistered vehicles: no more than two may be visible from any street or private road, and the rest must be behind a 6-foot sight-obscuring fence or fully enclosed. Excess outdoor accumulation can be treated as a junkyard nuisance. Oversized RVs and trailers on streets
Under the Automotive Hobby standards in Ada County Code Title 8, no more than two (2) inoperable, dismantled or unregistered motor vehicles may be visible from any street or private road; all others must be stored in a rear/side yard behind a sight-obscuring fence at least 6 feet tall, or within a completely enclosed structure. The site may not create a public nuisance, junkyard or automobile wrecking yard. Large recreational vehicles and trailers on unincorporated streets are separately limited to 72 hours under Code 6-5-3. City limits within the county may impose stricter size and screening rules.
Development Services can pursue zoning/nuisance enforcement; more than two visible inoperable vehicles or unscreened storage may require abatement.
