Summary
In Marysville, RVs, boats, and trailers on a residential lot must sit on an improved surface or driveway if parked in the front yard; side and rear yard parking is allowed if emergency access is preserved.
Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailer parking on a residential lot within a platted subdivision that is not on an improved all-weather surface or an approved driveway if located in the front yard.

Full Breakdown
Marysville Municipal Code § 6.24.050(31) makes it a public nuisance to park a recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer in the front yard of a residential lot within a platted subdivision unless it sits on an improved all-weather surface or an approved driveway. Side- or rear-yard parking in the required setbacks is allowed, but only if emergency responders can still reach all sides of the structure. The rule targets platted residential subdivisions specifically, and violations are enforced the same way as other nuisance conditions under Chapter 6.24, with the city able to order abatement and bill the owner.
Violations & Fines
Front-yard RV, boat, or trailer parking off an improved surface is a nuisance violation subject to city abatement and cost recovery from the owner.
