RVs and boats may be stored on private Anchorage property in side or rear yards. Street storage is limited to 24 hours. Many RVs are winterized and stored from October to April due to cold-weather risk.
Anchorage Municipal Code Title 21 zoning allows RV and boat storage on residential lots, typically behind the front building line in side or rear yards. Street parking of recreational vehicles is limited to the general 24-hour rule, and snow-route bans effectively prohibit winter street storage. Many homeowners use dedicated cold-storage facilities from October through April to prevent freeze damage. RVs cannot be used as dwellings on residential lots except for brief guest stays. Shore power hookups for parked RVs require an electrical permit.
Street storage: 150 dollar tow. Using RV as primary dwelling on a residential lot: zoning enforcement.
