RVs, boats, and trailers in Babylon may be stored on residential lots only in side or rear yards, screened from the street, per Town Code Chapter 213 (Zoning). Maximum one recreational vehicle per lot. On-street RV/boat parking is prohibited overnight year-round.
Given Babylon's Great South Bay frontage and heavy boating culture, the code specifically addresses boat trailers: they must be stored behind the front building line and cannot exceed 30 feet in length on a residential lot. RVs cannot be occupied as dwellings on residential property. Boats may be loaded or unloaded curbside for up to 24 hours. Marina-based storage is preferred, and Babylon operates multiple town-run boat basins for seasonal slip rental.
Front-yard RV/boat storage: $250 first offense, $500 repeat. Occupied RV as residence: $1,000 and vacate order. Overnight on-street boat trailer: $75 and tow.
