Iron County, UT Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 17.36.230 governs mobile homes, travel trailers, recreational vehicles, boats, camping trailers, truck campers and motor homes kept outside a licensed mobile home park, travel trailer park or campground. Subsection A caps occupancy: none of these units may be used for living or sleeping for more than sixteen days as a 'recreational vehicle temporary use' or one hundred eighty days as a 'recreational vehicle seasonal use,' with a narrow exception when the county building official issues a building permit confirming proper sewer and water connections, a residential solid-waste service, and winterization to keep the lines from freezing.

Subsection B controls placement: any unit stored outside a garage or carport must sit behind the front line of the primary residence extended across the lot, except during loading or unloading, which is allowed for up to seventy-two hours. In the R-2, R-1 and R-1/2 residential zoning districts, storing a travel trailer, RV, boat, camping trailer, truck camper or motor home is not permitted at all unless a privately occupied residence already exists on the same lot. A property owner-occupant may instead file a sworn affidavit with Iron County Building and Zoning under Subsection C, certifying ownership, occupancy of the RV, personal responsibility for water, sewer and winterization, and proof of the required solid-waste service, in lieu of documenting each requirement separately; that affidavit option does not extend to lots in the R-1/2 zone or to platted subdivisions with paved streets, curb, gutter and sidewalk covered by private covenants.
