In the City of Pensacola, RVs, campers and boats (major recreational equipment) may be stored on residential premises in a garage, the driveway, or a rear yard kept three feet off the property lines. In the unincorporated county, an inoperable RV or boat parked in view becomes a code-enforceable nuisance.
The City of Pensacola allows major recreational equipment (travel trailers, motor homes, boats, boat trailers) to be stored at a home in a carport or garage, in the driveway (not in the right-of-way), in a rear yard at least three feet from rear and side lines, or in one side yard. It must stay operable and licensed and may not be lived in. On the public right-of-way it is limited to 24 hours for loading. In unincorporated Escambia County the traffic code adds no residential RV limit, but an inoperable boat or camper visible from a road is a Chapter 42 nuisance.
Pensacola recreational-equipment violations are fined $50 first offense, $150 second, $250 third within 12 months, each day a separate offense. County nuisance RVs must be removed or screened.
