RV and boat storage in unincorporated Forsyth County is governed by the county's Unified Development Code and, in most subdivisions, by strict HOA covenants. Front-yard and street storage are commonly barred; screened side or rear storage is the norm.
No Georgia statute governs residential RV and boat storage; Forsyth County regulates it through the Unified Development Code, and the county's many HOA subdivisions add tighter rules. Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers generally must be kept behind the front building line, on a paved or approved surface, and often screened from the street. With Lake Lanier drawing heavy boat ownership, many residents keep vessels at marinas or in dedicated storage. HOA covenants across Forsyth's planned communities frequently prohibit visible RV, boat, and trailer storage entirely, and those private rules are enforced separately from county code.
A county zoning violation brings a notice and correction period, then daily fines. HOA covenants impose separate fines and can compel removal of a visible RV, boat, or trailer.
