Spokane County sets no numeric cap on RVs, boats or trailers parked at a home, but an inoperable or damaged RV can become a code-enforceable junk-vehicle nuisance. Living in an RV as a dwelling is limited to licensed RV parks.
There is no county zoning rule capping how many recreational vehicles, boats or utility trailers a resident may store on a single-family lot in unincorporated Spokane County. However, SCC Chapter 6.13 declares premises where 'junk motor vehicles are stored or maintained' inconsistent with the Zoning Code a nuisance, and a 'junk motor vehicle' is broadly defined to include any vehicle (an RV or boat trailer counts) meeting three of the listed damage/inoperability criteria. Recreational-vehicle occupancy for living is only allowed in a licensed RV park/campground zone; parking your RV in the yard as a residence is not permitted.
Junk/inoperable RV stored improperly is a nuisance; $250 per day monetary penalty plus abatement costs (SCC 6.13.070).
