Inside Chattanooga, City Code § 24-286(e) makes it unlawful to park or store a recreational vehicle, camper, trailer or non-motorized vehicle within a City right-of-way in any residential zone between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.; a boat on a trailer falls under the same rule. Keep the RV or boat on your own lot, where zoning administered by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency treats it as accessory storage. In the unincorporated county there is no street-parking time limit and Tennessee sets no statewide residential RV rule. Other cities (East Ridge, Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy, Signal Mountain, Collegedale) apply their own codes, and HOA covenants often add screening or prohibitions.
Vehicles parked in violation of Chapter 24 may be ticketed or removed under § 24-303; report concerns in Chattanooga to Chatt311 (311 or 423-643-6311). County zoning issues go to the Regional Planning Agency.
