Full Breakdown

Development Code § 19.12.2.A.2.b lets a single-family lot add one off-street parking or storage space for an RV or boat trailer in the front yard or corner side setback, on top of normal driveway parking, but only one vehicle, capped at 12 feet high and 35 feet long, and the pad must be concrete, asphalt, or similar paving, not dirt or gravel. Parking an RV on the public street or right-of-way is separately capped at 48 hours under Henderson Municipal Code § 10.06.030, after which code enforcement can tag and tow it.

Violations & Fines

RVs left on the street past 48 hours get a violation notice, towing, and an administrative citation up to $500 per occurrence under HMC § 10.06.060; oversized or unpaved yard storage is a zoning code violation.
