Fayette County, GA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 110-91 regulates where campers, travel trailers, camper pick-up coaches, motorized homes, boat trailers and boats can be parked in unincorporated Fayette County. On an undeveloped residential or A-R lot, or an undeveloped nonresidential lot, parking one of these vehicles is prohibited unless it is tied to an active building permit for the lot's principal structure; the owner must apply to the zoning administrator for a permit, which runs for up to six months and cannot be renewed once construction of the dwelling is complete.

Separately, the section carves out a short-term allowance that applies even without a construction permit: parking one of these recreational vehicles for up to 14 days is not treated as a violation. Beyond that, an occupied lot with a single-family dwelling, in any zoning district, or in A-R or any residential district, may host one recreational vehicle used for temporary occupancy for up to 14 days, and that allowance can be used twice per calendar year. The section defines a qualifying recreational vehicle by size as well as type: a self-propelled unit cannot exceed 8½ feet in width in travel mode or 45 feet in length, not counting the towing vehicle.

The rule was last amended by Ordinance No. 2016-12 in 2016. Planning and Zoning administers the permit process, and Code Enforcement handles complaints about vehicles parked outside these allowances.
