Jefferson County (Louisville Metro) LDC restricts RV and trailer parking in residential districts. RVs/boats over 25 feet or trailers over 16 feet are classified as 'Heavy Trucks' with strict limits. Medium-sized RVs (under the Heavy Truck thresholds) are allowed on lots 20,000+ sq ft, but not in front yards or street-facing sides.
Under the Louisville Metro LDC, residential parking of RVs, trailers, and boats is classified by vehicle size. Heavy Trucks (motorized vehicles with more than one rear axle, utility trailers over 16 feet excluding the tongue, or RV-trailers/boats over 25 feet) face significant restrictions in residential zoning and traditional neighborhood form districts of Jefferson County. Medium vehicles — RVs, boats, and trailers under Heavy Truck thresholds — are allowed up to two per dwelling unit on lots 20,000 sq ft or larger, but not in front of the main building or on street-facing sides. A trailer and the boat loaded on it count as one vehicle when connected. All RVs must also comply with LMCO Chapter 72 for street parking.
LDC violations for oversized RV parking: code enforcement citation. Street parking violations: PARC. Fines vary by violation.
