Hamilton County itself sets no countywide rule on parking recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers at homes. Where you may store an RV or boat is decided by your city, village, or township zoning code. In Great Parks, no vehicle may sit outside a designated parking area.
Land-use rules on residential RV, boat, and trailer storage in Ohio come from the incorporated city or village that zones itself, or from the township zoning resolution for unincorporated land (ORC Chapter 519). Hamilton County is almost fully incorporated, so check your municipality's or township's zoning office. On Great Parks property, oversized recreational vehicles are still bound by the general rule that no vehicles may be parked on grass, sidewalks, or areas not designated as parking. Overnight RV stays are limited to Winton Woods and other Great Parks campgrounds under their campground policies.
Enforcement and fines for improperly stored RVs or boats are set by your municipal or township zoning code, not the county. Great Parks can cite vehicles parked outside designated areas.
