Campbell County, KY Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

057(C) restricts outdoor storage of any trailer, mobile home, recreational vehicle, camper, boat, or similar equipment to the rear yard of the lot, in every zone in the county; the Planning and Zoning Commission may allow storage elsewhere only where unique topographic or other conditions make the rear yard unusable. 057(A) separately bars storing an inoperable motor vehicle on any lot unless it sits inside a completely enclosed building, and limits parking overall to the number of operable vehicles regularly used by the resident family and their guests.

057(B) makes it unlawful to live in an automobile, camper, bus, boat, or truck anywhere within the county, with two narrow exceptions: mobile homes permitted under the chapter's mobile-home provisions and houseboats moored along the Licking and Ohio Rivers that meet state requirements. Because these are zoning-code restrictions rather than a registration or fee-based permit system, there is no separate storage license to obtain; the property owner simply has to keep qualifying equipment in the rear yard, keep inoperable vehicles under roof, and avoid using any vehicle as a residence outside the stated exceptions. A homeowner who finds the rear-yard requirement impractical because of the lot's terrain can ask the Planning and Zoning Commission for an alternate location.
