In Clayton County cities like Forest Park, one resident-owned recreational vehicle may be stored on a residential lot only within the rear yard, never occupied and never hooked to sewer or water.
Clayton County's cities regulate RV, boat, and camper storage through their zoning codes. Forest Park allows a single resident-owned recreational vehicle per residential lot, stored in the rear yard, provided it is not connected to sanitary facilities and is not occupied as living quarters. If the rear yard cannot be reached by a driveway or side-yard clearance, the RV may not be parked on the property at all. Jonesboro and unincorporated Clayton County apply similar rear-yard/side-yard limits under their zoning ordinances. Boats and utility trailers are treated as recreational equipment under the same standard.
Zoning-code violation handled by code enforcement; typically notice to abate, then citation to municipal/magistrate court with per-day fines until the vehicle is relocated or removed.
