Most Broome County towns (Vestal, Union, Chenango) restrict RV and boat storage in front yards. Typical rule allows storage in side or rear yards only, with setbacks from property lines. Check local zoning for specifics.
RV and boat storage in Broome County is governed at the town level, not the county. Town of Vestal Zoning Code restricts recreational vehicle storage to side or rear yards, with a minimum 5-foot setback from side lot lines. Town of Union Zoning generally prohibits RV/boat storage in required front yards and limits the number of recreational vehicles stored on residential lots. Town of Chenango and Town of Dickinson follow similar patterns. No town in Broome County allows long-term occupancy or use of an RV as a dwelling on a residential lot; RVs must remain registered, operable, and may not be connected to permanent utilities. Binghamton City Code Ch. 410 Zoning restricts RV storage in residential districts and requires screening. Verify specific dimensions and setback distances with your town's code enforcement office before permanent parking.
Typical town zoning violations: $50-$250 per day ongoing. Binghamton code violations prosecuted in City Court. Repeat offenses may escalate to misdemeanor under NY Town Law §268.
