Full Breakdown
Glynn County Code § 2-15-6(f) makes it unlawful for any person to stop, stand, park or leave unattended overnight a recreational vehicle, defined as one containing sleeping accommodations, or any boat trailer, on three named streets in the St. Simons Island Village: Myrtle Street from Beachview Drive to Postell Avenue, Cedar Street from Beachview Drive to Postell Avenue and on to the ocean/beach access, and Postell Avenue between its intersections with Myrtle and Cedar Streets. The county added this overnight ban in 2006 as part of a broader set of Village parking amendments (subsections e and f, added August 17, 2006, building on the original 1994 and 1995 St.
Simons Island parking ordinances). The prohibition carves out an exception for persons who own or rent property immediately adjacent to the listed blocks, so a homeowner or tenant on one of those streets can still park an RV or boat trailer overnight in front of their own property. Everyone else, including visitors, day-trippers and boat owners heading to nearby launches, must relocate an RV or trailer off Myrtle, Cedar and Postell before leaving it overnight. The same section separately bars daytime bus standing longer than 15 minutes and general no-parking tow-away zones on other St.
Simons streets, but the overnight RV/boat trailer rule applies specifically to these three Village blocks rather than county-wide. Glynn County Police enforce the restriction as part of the broader St. Simons Island Parking Restrictions ordinance.
Violations & Fines
A recreational vehicle or boat trailer left overnight on Myrtle Street, Cedar Street or Postell Avenue by someone who is not an adjacent property owner or renter violates § 2-15-6(f). Under the general penalty clause of the same ordinance, a violation carries a fine of up to $500, up to ten days in jail, or both, and the vehicle may be towed and impounded at the owner's expense.
