Flagler County, FL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

C of the Flagler County Land Development Code sets the standard for non-commercial recreational vehicles, defined broadly to include motor homes, travel trailers, campers, boats and boat trailers, parked or stored in the same four residential districts covered by the commercial vehicle rule: R-1b, R-1c, R-1d single-family and R-2 two-family. The first rule is a location restriction: no recreational vehicle may be parked within any required front or side yard setback area for the district. Second, any RV or boat parked or stored in a front, side or rear yard where it is visible must be screened from adjacent lots, waterways and streets using approved fences, walls, hedges, trees or other landscape treatments; that screening cannot exceed six feet in height and must provide a visual barrier that is at least 75 percent opaque.

Third, the unit cannot block any door, window or other entrance or exit needed for the health, safety or welfare of the dwelling's occupants. The code also carves out two temporary allowances: a resident's own RV or boat may sit in the driveway for repair, maintenance or being readied for use, but not continuously for more than 72 hours in any seven-day period, and a guest's recreational vehicle may be parked in a resident's driveway for up to seven consecutive days, provided it is never used for overnight lodging.

Read together, the section permits RV and boat ownership in these residential districts while controlling where the unit sits, how tall the screening can be, and how long a guest's unit or a resident's in-repair unit can stay visible. This is a county rule limited to unincorporated Flagler County; Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach and Marineland set their own RV and boat parking standards.
