In Lincoln, RVs, boats, and trailers on a public street are limited to the citywide 24-hour parking rule; stored on your own lot they must sit on a concrete driveway or its equivalent, not bare front yard.
Lincoln Municipal Code 27.53.020 defines a recreational vehicle as a single-chassis unit 400 square feet or less designed as temporary, not permanent, living quarters. There is no separate RV street-parking permit; the general 24-hour on-street limit (LMC 10.32.190) applies to RVs like any vehicle. LMC 27.67.030 lets residents in R-1 through R-7 districts park only passenger cars, pickups, or vans on a concrete driveway in the front yard, so long-term front-yard RV/boat storage on grass is not allowed. In the unincorporated county the Lancaster County Zoning Resolution governs; check your acreage zoning.
On-street RVs left over 24 hours may be tagged and towed; unlawful front-yard storage is a zoning violation subject to correction notice and municipal citation.
