In Marion County's residential zoning classifications, a travel trailer or recreational vehicle that is not occupied must be parked in the side or rear yard and kept in a stored state; a single self-contained travel trailer or RV may be occupied by a non-commercial guest for up to 21 days in any 60-day period under a Temporary Use Permit.
Marion County Land Development Code Section 4.3.6 ('Used manufactured home, mobile home and park trailer regulations') governs travel trailer and recreational vehicle parking and occupancy in the unincorporated county. Subsection D provides that a single travel trailer and/or recreational vehicle with a self-contained disposal system may be occupied in any residential zoning as a non-commercial guest of the resident, for a period not to exceed 21 days in any 60-day period under a Temporary Use Permit issued through the Growth Services Zoning Division, and that any travel trailer or RV that is not occupied must be parked in the side or rear yard and kept in a stored state. Subsection E allows occupancy in agricultural zoning for up to 60 days in any 365-day period, with a limit of five travel trailers or recreation vehicles at one time by Temporary Use Permit (six or more requires a Special Event Permit with Marion County Department of Health and County Administrator approval); a non-occupied RV in agricultural zoning must be owned or leased by the property owner or tenant and kept in a stored state. Section 4.3.5/4.3.6.A also prohibits parking or storing an unoccupied mobile home or park trailer except in a completely enclosed permitted structure. These provisions were adopted by Ordinance No. 13-20.
Violations are enforced by Marion County Growth Services Code Enforcement under the Land Development Code and the county's code enforcement procedures (Code of Ordinances Chapter 2, Article V). Occupying or storing an RV or travel trailer outside the permitted timeframes, locations, or without the required Temporary Use Permit is a code violation subject to citation and abatement.
