Lakeville, MN Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Lakeville's Zoning Ordinance (Title 11, Chapter 22) limits each single-family residential property to a maximum of two licensed and operable recreational vehicles, boats, or snowmobiles on trailers stored outdoors. The City defines recreational vehicles broadly to include utility trailers, campers, tent/pop-up trailers, motor homes, converted buses, boats, snowmobiles, ice houses, and ATVs. In the front yard, an RV or boat must sit on the established driveway and entirely on the owner's property, never on public property or the street right-of-way. In the rear yard it must be no closer than 10 feet from the rear lot line or 5 feet from a side lot line, and outside drainage and utility easements. On a corner lot, recreational vehicles must be at least 20 feet from the side-street property line and outside easements. Vehicles stored outside must be on a hard surface such as a driveway; parking on grass is prohibited. The City Code parking rules (6-1-1-3) separately bar leaving a boat, snowmobile, trailer, or seasonal vehicle on any street, alley, or city lot for more than 48 hours.
