Fair Lawn permits one boat, boat trailer, recreation vehicle, or snowmobile under 18 feet to be stored outside in residential zones, but only in a garage or rear yard with screening from neighbors.
Under Fair Lawn's zoning regulations, residents may store one recreational item (boat, boat trailer, RV, or snowmobile) outside of a building only if it is 18 feet or less in length. Storage must occur in a garage or in the rear yard, located at least five feet from any property line, and must be screened from view of adjoining properties. Front yard or driveway storage of these items is generally not permitted. Items larger than 18 feet must be stored off-site or fully enclosed. Enforcement falls under the Borough zoning officer.
Violations may result in zoning citations, daily fines, and orders to remove or relocate the recreational vehicle. Repeat offenses can escalate penalties.
