Summary

Lynn's zoning ordinance bars storing an unregistered, uninsured, or inoperable boat, trailer, camper, or RV in a front yard, and limits any property to one such ungaraged vehicle for more than 72 hours.

No person or business shall have, keep, or store more than one unregistered, uninsured, or inoperable motor vehicle, boat, trailer, camper, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle ungaraged on their premises for more than 72 hours, nor shall any such unregistered, uninsured, or inoperable motor vehicle, boat, trailer, camper, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle be stored in the front yard area.

Full Breakdown

Under Lynn's zoning ordinance, no property may keep more than one unregistered, uninsured, or inoperable motor vehicle, boat, trailer, camper, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle ungaraged for more than 72 hours, and none may be stored in the front yard at all. Registered, operable RVs and boats are generally kept in a side or rear yard or a driveway. The rule does not apply to licensed dealers selling or leasing vehicles under M.G.L. c. 140, § 58. On-street storage is impractical because Lynn's snow-emergency bans clear every public street of parked vehicles during winter storms.

Violations & Fines

Storing a prohibited RV, boat, or trailer in a front yard, or a second unregistered one on a lot, brings a zoning notice to correct followed by municipal fines that escalate for continued violations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my RV or boat in my Lynn driveway?
If it is registered and operable, generally yes in a side or rear location. Front-yard storage of unregistered RVs, boats, or trailers is prohibited by zoning.
How many unregistered vehicles can I keep?
One, not in the front yard, and not left ungaraged for more than 72 hours, under Lynn's zoning ordinance.
