Melbourne limits RV and boat storage to side or rear yards with appropriate screening. Vessels over 30 feet may require enclosed storage. Sec. 13.206 of the code addresses recreational vehicles and park trailer placement. Storage in front yards is generally prohibited.
Melbourne's zoning code permits RVs, boats, and trailers to be parked on residential properties in city limits provided they are on an improved surface (concrete, asphalt, or gravel), maintained in reasonable condition, and carry current registration. Street parking of RVs and boats is allowed for loading/unloading (up to 72 hours) but long-term street storage is prohibited. RVs may not be used as dwelling units unless the property has a valid temporary use permit. Setback requirements may apply: vehicles typically must not encroach on front yard setbacks.
Violations result in a notice to comply with a 14-day deadline. Failure to comply carries fines of $50–$200 per day. Abandoned or derelict vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense.
