RV, boat, and trailer storage on residential lots is set by each Atlantic County municipality's zoning ordinance. Front-yard and street storage are commonly restricted; side or rear-yard storage is generally allowed.
No New Jersey statute governs residential RV and boat storage; each Atlantic County municipality regulates it through zoning and property-maintenance ordinances. The common pattern in Egg Harbor Township, Galloway, Hamilton, and Absecon limits recreational vehicles to side or rear yards, often behind the front building line and sometimes screened, and requires that they be registered and operable. On the barrier islands — Brigantine, Ventnor, Margate, Longport — tight lots and summer resident-permit parking leave little room, so boats and RVs usually go to marinas or off-island storage. Parking an RV or boat trailer in the front yard or on the street for extended periods is typically prohibited.
A zoning violation brings a notice with a correction period, then municipal fines that commonly run $100 to several hundred dollars, escalating per day for continued violations. On-street storage is ticketed and may be towed.
