Rock County has no single countywide RV or boat parking rule. In unincorporated towns that adopted county zoning, storage standards apply; many towns bar unregistered RVs, campers, and boats from open residential lots. Inside Janesville, Beloit, and villages, the city or village sets the rule.
Under Wisconsin's split land-use system (Wis. Stat. 59.69), Rock County zones only the unincorporated towns that consented to county zoning; cities and villages self-govern. Individual town zoning ordinances handle RV, camper, trailer, and boat storage. The Town of Magnolia (Rock County) ordinance, for example, requires unregistered recreational vehicles, campers, trailers, snowmobiles, ATVs, and boats to be kept inside a completely enclosed building, with a narrow exception for pop-up campers and pull trailers under 3,000 pounds. Check your own town, city, or village code for setback, screening, and driveway-surface requirements, plus how many units and what size are allowed on a residential parcel.
Enforced by the town or municipality as a zoning violation; typical forfeitures run tens to a few hundred dollars per day the violation continues.
