RV and boat storage in unincorporated Columbia County is governed by county zoning and, in most Evans and Martinez subdivisions, by HOA covenants. With Clarks Hill Lake nearby, boat ownership is heavy and storage rules matter.
No Georgia statute governs residential RV and boat storage; Columbia County regulates it through its zoning and development code, and the county's many HOA subdivisions add tighter rules. Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers are generally expected to be kept behind the front of the house, on a paved or approved surface, and often screened from the street. Clarks Hill (J. Strom Thurmond) Lake and the Savannah River make boats common here, and many residents keep vessels at marinas or in dedicated storage lots. HOA covenants across Evans and Martinez frequently prohibit visible RV, boat, and trailer storage entirely, enforced separately from county code.
A county zoning violation brings a notice and a correction period, then daily fines. HOA covenants impose separate fines and can compel removal of a visible RV, boat, or trailer.
