The City-Parish limits residential RV, boat and trailer parking. Larger trucks and semitrailers with more than two axles and payload over 3,500 pounds are barred from the drive, front yard or street-side yard in the A1–A4 residential districts under the Unified Development Code.
East Baton Rouge is a consolidated city-parish, so its Unified Development Code (UDC Ch. 17) and Traffic Code (Title 11, Ch. 28) govern residential RV/boat parking. UDC 17.5.1B prohibits wreckers, buses, trucks and semitrailers with more than two axles and payload over 3,500 pounds from parking on the drive, in the front yard, or between the street and house in A1–A4 residential districts. Personal RVs and boats on trailers are generally kept off the required street-facing yard and on a permitted paved surface. Subdivision covenants (HOA rules) often add stricter limits. Confirm your zoning district and any HOA restrictions before storing an RV or boat.
Handled as a UDC/parking violation; the Department of Development enforces, and vehicles parked in violation may be cited or towed. Fines set by the Traffic Code.
