Islip Town Code §68-418 allows one RV or boat in rear or side yard of single-family residential lots. Must be owned by resident, cannot be occupied as dwelling. Max 30 ft unless screened from street view.
Town zoning permits recreational vehicles and boats as accessory uses in residential districts when stored behind the front building line. Storage in front yard or on street prohibited except for loading/unloading up to 48 hours. Boats on trailers count toward vehicle limit. Islip has significant boating community given Great South Bay access — marina storage widely available as alternative.
