York County itself sets no rule for RVs, boats, or trailers on residential streets or lots — that is decided by your borough, city, or township under Pennsylvania's Municipalities Planning Code. The only county-level restriction is inside York County Parks, where boat-trailer and pull-behind areas are marked.
Residential RV, boat, and trailer parking in York County is governed by each municipality (York City, Hanover, Red Lion, Spring Garden Township, etc.), not the county — land use is a municipal power under the PA MPC (Act 247, 53 P.S. §10101 et seq.). The one county-administered rule is in York County Code Chapter 75, which restricts where boat-trailer vehicles and pull-behind trailers may be parked within county parks. Check your township's zoning office for driveway, side-yard, and street storage limits on recreational vehicles.
Municipal RV/boat parking violations are fined by your borough or township. Inside York County parks, a Chapter 75 violation is a summary offense carrying $75–$800 and up to 30 days.
