Irondequoit, NY Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Town of Irondequoit Code § 235-104 defines a recreational vehicle broadly: a travel trailer, camper, motor home, tent trailer, boat, boat trailer, snowmobile, jet ski, ATV or utility trailer. A utility trailer is an open or enclosed trailer not over six feet wide by 12 feet long. The rules apply in the R-R, R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5 districts and to residential uses in R-6. Nonresidential uses in R-6, C, WD and M districts need a special use permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals to park or store recreational vehicles.

Storage inside a completely enclosed garage with the door closed is allowed in every district. Outside, the Town Board sets yard-by-yard limits. The front yard takes one recreational vehicle, parked on the driveway or another hard-surfaced area, four feet from the front property line and three feet from any side line. One vehicle can go in either side yard, three feet from the side line. The rear yard takes up to two vehicles, four feet from the rear and side lines, and accessory structures plus recreational vehicles together cannot cover more than 50% of the rear yard.

Across the whole lot, no more than two recreational vehicles can be parked or stored in the open. The occupant must own them. Fixed connections to electricity, water, gas or sanitary facilities are barred, and no recreational vehicle can be used for living or housekeeping on the premises. Each one must be kept in good repair with a current plate or registration unless it is in a garage. Parking or storing one on a public highway or right-of-way is prohibited. The code defines "park" as a stay under 10 days for loading or trip preparation and "store" as a stay over 10 days.
