Acworth, GA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

C through E sets three separate rules for recreational equipment. Trailers, boats, and recreational vehicles must be stored to the side or rear of the principal structure, or kept fully enclosed, and they must sit on an improved surface such as concrete or pervious pavers rather than bare ground. 2 outside-storage rules instead, as do trailer beds used for storage. Subsection D closes a gap for empty lots: recreational vehicles and trailers cannot be parked on an R-zoned lot that has no permanent dwelling unit or other structure meant for permanent human habitation, so a residentially zoned vacant parcel cannot double as RV storage.

Subsection E addresses living in an RV directly: recreational vehicles may only be occupied for human habitation in the C-2 district, and even there habitation is capped at a maximum of 14 days in any 30-day period, meaning nobody can live in an RV as a residence anywhere in the city, including in a driveway in a residential district. Subsection F carves out five exemptions from the whole section: equipment fully enclosed in a building, temporarily parked for active loading or unloading, on a lot with a permitted non-residential use, designed for transporting people with disabilities, or in active use for construction or a professional service on the property. Like the commercial-vehicle rule beside it, this section was last amended by Ordinance No. 2025-14, Section 5, effective June 5, 2025.
