Akron, OH Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Akron City Code Chapter 152, governing mobile homes and trailer parks, controls trailers kept outside a licensed trailer park. 02(B) bars parking any trailer on a street, alley, highway or other public place, or on any occupied or unoccupied tract of land, except as the chapter allows. 02(C) permits only brief emergency or temporary stopping, capped at one hour, and even that stays subject to the city's separate traffic and parking regulations. 02(D) sets the residential-yard rule at issue here: no one may live in or occupy a trailer on premises outside an approved trailer park, but the parking or storage of only one unoccupied trailer as an accessory use in a rear yard in any use district is permitted, provided no living quarters are maintained and no business is practiced in it while parked or stored.

01 defines a covered trailer broadly as any vehicle or structure designed to permit occupancy as sleeping quarters, mounted on wheels and drawn or propelled on highways or city streets, which reaches campers and travel trailers. 14. The code does not separately name boat storage in this chapter, so a boat on its own trailer is covered only insofar as it is the towable trailer itself being stored, not as a distinct boat-parking rule. 99: a violation of any provision of Chapter 152 is a third-degree misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars, imprisonment of not more than sixty days, or both, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense.
