Baton Rouge regulates RV and boat storage on residential properties through the Unified Development Code. Recreational vehicles should be stored behind the front building line. Street storage of RVs and boats is limited.
The Baton Rouge UDC addresses parking and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential zones. These vehicles should be stored behind the front building line, typically in side or rear yards. Screening from public view may be required depending on the zoning district. Vehicles must be in reasonable condition and registered. Extended street parking of RVs and boats is restricted. Living in an RV on residential property is generally not permitted within the city-parish.
Improperly stored RVs and boats are subject to code enforcement with notice and compliance deadlines.
