Stark County itself sets no RV/boat parking zoning; your township (ORC Ch. 519) or city sets it. In Canton, an RV, camper, boat or trailer may be stored in any zoning district only if it is licensed and in working repair.
Ohio counties do not run countywide residential zoning, so RV and boat storage rules come from your township or city. Canton City Code 1134.05(i) governs the county seat: a motor home, camper trailer, boat, boat trailer or other trailer may be parked or stored only if in good repair, working condition, and displaying a current license plate. Section 1134.05(j) limits such storage in business districts to the rear of the premises or a screened, fenced area. Section 1134.05(k) bars connecting an RV or trailer to electricity, water, gas or sewer and forbids using it for living or housekeeping. Massillon, Alliance and each township adopt their own Ch. 519 zoning.
Canton zoning violations are minor misdemeanors abatable as nuisances; check Canton 1134.99 / township zoning penalties. Fines and orders to move or license the vehicle typically follow written notice.
