Gilbert allows RV storage on residential property in fenced areas behind the front setback. A fenced area includes any backyard, and the fence does not need to be opaque. Land Development Code Section 4.203 governs vehicle parking.
Gilbert's Land Development Code Section 4.203 regulates RV and recreational vehicle parking on residential property. RVs may be stored in a fenced area, which may be a backyard. Importantly, the fence does not necessarily need to be non-see-through; a ranch-style fence is sufficient even though vehicles may still be visible. Inoperable vehicles are defined as those incapable of being legally driven on a street. Many of Gilbert's master-planned communities have strict HOA CC&Rs that are more restrictive than town code regarding RV storage, often requiring complete screening or prohibiting RV parking entirely. Given that town code overrides HOA only where more restrictive, residents should comply with whichever standard is stricter.
Code compliance violation for RVs parked on unimproved surfaces or in front yards. HOAs may impose separate fines and enforcement.
