Eagan, MN Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

The City of Eagan addresses recreational vehicle and boat storage through its parking requirements and Chapter 9 of the City Code. The city states that recreational vehicles, including motor homes, utility trailers, boats, snowmobiles and ATVs, that are stored in residential areas must be currently licensed and operable. Eagan encourages owners to park these items in the driveway or garage, alongside the home behind the front line of the house, or in the rear yard rather than in the front yard. If a recreational camping vehicle is kept in the driveway, the city directs that it be parked at least 15 feet back from the curb line at the bottom of the driveway. Recreational camping vehicles may not be parked on a street or right-of-way for longer than 24 hours, a window the city describes as generally intended for loading or unloading. Camping vehicles may not be used as living or sleeping quarters unless they are on property zoned for camping. Because Eagan publishes the controlling text only through its City Clerk and the Municode codifier, residents should confirm exact setbacks and any zoning-district nuances against the current Chapter 9 text before storing a large recreational vehicle on a residential lot.
