Clermont applies Florida's standard residential RV/boat rule — major recreational equipment may be stored in a side or rear yard but not in a required front yard. Up to 24 hours of front-yard parking is allowed for active loading/unloading. RVs cannot be used as residences. Florida CS/HB 1203 (effective July 1, 2024) overrides HOA bans but not municipal land-development rules.
Clermont's Land Development Code adopts the standard Florida treatment of major recreational equipment — boats, boat trailers, travel trailers, pickup campers, motorhomes, tent trailers, houseboats, and similar — codified throughout Lake County and most Central Florida cities. The equipment may be parked or stored in a rear or side yard, but not in any required front yard. A 24-hour grace period applies for active loading and unloading. Recreational equipment cannot be used for living, sleeping, or housekeeping while parked on a residential lot. Florida CS/HB 1203 took effect July 1, 2024, and prohibits HOAs from banning RV/boat-trailer parking on a homeowner's property, but does not override municipal land-development codes. Property must remain in a presentable condition under Clermont's property-maintenance bylaws.
Front-yard storage beyond the 24-hour window is a code violation. Code Enforcement can issue a notice with a cure period, then escalate to a magistrate hearing with daily fines if non-compliance continues. Using an RV as a residence is treated as illegal occupancy.
