Lynchburg, VA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

11 governs recreational equipment parked at a residential property, covering travel trailers, boats and boat trailers, truck campers, inhabitable buses and other recreational vehicles. Owners may park or store this equipment on their property, but the ordinance is explicit that it cannot be inhabited, closing off using a parked RV or camper as a spare bedroom or guest quarters. Placement is restricted to behind the building line of the main structure on the property, keeping the equipment out of the front yard entirely. 4(b)(6). Critically, the section only kicks in once the equipment has been parked or stored for seven or more days within any 30-day period, meaning short-term stops for loading, unloading or a weekend trip don't trigger the placement and size rules at all. That threshold effectively distinguishes routine, transient use of a driveway from using the property as long-term storage for oversized recreational equipment.
