Kendall County, IL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 36-1016(a) governs storage of unoccupied recreational vehicles and trailers on any lot. Screened units, meaning fully hidden from adjacent property behind permitted solid fencing, structures or evergreen landscaping taller than the vehicle, face no numeric cap. Unscreened units are capped by a table keyed to zoning: Agriculture allows an unlimited number "provided such recreational vehicles or trailers are for use by the property owner or tenant"; R-1, R-2, R-3 allow 2; "All other residential districts" allow 1; commercial and industrial districts have no restriction if the vehicles are part of a licensed trailer storage or sales business.

" They may be stored within a required rear or interior side setback. A grandfathered exception lets an owner in an R-4 through R-7 district who registered a vehicle with the PBZ Department before December 29, 2006 keep it in the front setback, but that registration is non-transferable and ends when the property sells or changes occupancy as a rental. Beyond the numeric caps, extra unscreened units are allowed temporarily: up to 72 hours in a one-week period for loading, unloading or maintenance before a trip, or for a visiting guest's RV, up to 14 consecutive days or 21 non-consecutive days per year unless the Zoning Administrator approves otherwise in writing.

Unoccupied mobile homes may be stored only in commercial or industrial districts as part of a licensed trailer storage or sales business. Occupied trailers and mobile homes face separate, tighter rules under § 36-1016(b)-(e), including permits from the PBZ Department and removal within 60 days of a rescinded or expired permit.
