Erie County has no countywide RV or boat parking ordinance for private property or streets; those rules are set by your town, city, or village. The county's only direct rule governs RVs and trailers within Erie County Parks campgrounds.
Where and how you may store an RV, camper, or boat trailer on residential property, in a driveway, or on the street is regulated by each Erie County municipality (Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg, and others), not by county government. New York has no statewide RV-storage rule for private lots either. Erie County's own authority is limited to its park system: county park campgrounds cap each site at one camper or RV plus one tent, allow a maximum of two cars per campsite (extra vehicles must use visitor parking), and bar driving or parking more than five feet off park roadways. For any residential RV or boat setback, screening, or driveway rule, contact your town or city building or code-enforcement office.
Park-campground violations are handled by Erie County Parks staff and rangers; residential RV/boat penalties are set by municipal code, not the county.
