Licking County's cities and townships zone residential land, so you can usually store an RV, boat, or trailer on your own lot, but front-yard setback storage, on-street storage, and living in a parked RV are commonly restricted.
Because Licking County regulates land use through municipal and township zoning, RV and boat storage rules are local rather than uniform. In Newark, Heath, Pataskala, Granville, and the townships, a resident may generally keep a personal RV, camper, boat, or utility trailer on their own lot, most often in a driveway or a side or rear yard. Many zoning codes bar long-term storage in a required front-yard setback and limit or prohibit parking these units on a public street. Occupying a parked RV as a residence is commonly prohibited. Exact setback and screening requirements depend on the municipality and zoning district.
Storing an RV, boat, or trailer in a prohibited front setback or on the street beyond the allowed time is a zoning or parking violation, drawing a notice, escalating daily fines, and possible towing.
