Recreational vehicles and boats may not be parked on Kansas City streets for extended periods. In residential zones, RVs may be parked on private property but must not encroach on public right-of-way or obstruct sight lines.
Kansas City restricts long-term RV and boat parking on public streets; vehicles must be moved regularly to avoid abandoned vehicle citations. On private property in residential zones, RVs may be stored in the side or rear yard or within a fully enclosed garage. Parking in the front yard is restricted except on a paved driveway. RVs parked at curb for loading/unloading are typically limited to 24–48 hours. Check with the city's Neighborhoods Dept. for current enforcement details.
Citations for illegal RV storage; towing possible for street parking violations.
