Jackson regulates RV and boat parking in residential areas through local zoning ordinances. Vehicles must typically be stored in side or rear yards behind the front building line.
Jackson controls RV and boat parking through residential zoning ordinances under MS Code Ann. §21-19-1. Recreational vehicles and boats should be stored in driveways, side yards, or rear yards and not in front yards or on the street for extended periods. Most municipalities require RVs and boats to be in operable condition and properly registered. Street parking of RVs and boats is typically limited to 48 to 72 hours for loading and unloading. Mississippi's fishing and hunting culture means boat and RV ownership is common, so regulations tend to be moderate. HOA covenants may impose stricter requirements. Vehicles must not block sidewalks, drainage, or sight lines at intersections.
Violation notice with 7 to 14 day compliance window. Fines of $50 to $200 per violation. Vehicles may be towed after notice period for street parking violations.
