Largo, FL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 11-73 defines a 'recreational vehicle' broadly to cover travel trailers, motor homes, mobile homes, camping trailers, fifth wheels, enclosed or open trailers, all-terrain vehicles, boats and boat trailers, jet skis and their trailers, mopeds, scooters and aircraft or aircraft trailers. Section 11-78(d)(1)(e) allows a single recreational vehicle to sit in the front yard between the house and the street right-of-way, capped at 26 feet in overall length and required to rest on an improved surface such as shell, gravel, pavers, concrete or asphalt rather than bare dirt or grass.

A boat on its trailer counts as one recreational vehicle for that limit, and the trailer tongue is excluded when measuring the 26-foot length. Additional recreational vehicles may be kept in the side or rear yard, but the property as a whole may never hold more than three total. Section 11-78(a) separately bars parking any boat, boat trailer, or RV-type vehicle within the street right-of-way itself except while actually loading, unloading or cleaning it, and Section 11-78(d)(2) allows loading, unloading or minor repair and cleaning of a recreational vehicle for up to 24 hours without violating the parking rules.

These restrictions apply regardless of when the RV or boat parking began, per Section 11-78(e), and are enforced by the community standards manager and police chief under Section 11-82, backed by the administrative-abatement and notice-to-appear penalties in Section 11-83.
