In unincorporated towns under county zoning, only one recreational vehicle may be parked on a residentially zoned lot, kept outside the district offset area unless on a driveway, and never in the C-1 Conservancy Overlay. Cities and villages set their own rules.
The Waukesha County Basic Zoning Ordinance (§3.12(6)B) governs residential parking in the unincorporated towns that have adopted county zoning. It limits a residential lot to one recreational vehicle, which must sit outside the required offset area unless placed on a driveway, and bars RVs from the C-1 Conservancy Overlay District. The ordinance defines recreational vehicles broadly to include travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers, and motor homes. Boats and utility trailers are treated as vehicles/equipment under the same section. Inside the cities of Waukesha, Brookfield, and New Berlin, or in villages, the municipality's own code controls instead of the county.
Zoning violations are abated through the county Planning & Zoning Division; noncompliant storage can draw citations, daily forfeitures, and removal orders in unincorporated towns.
