Summary

Midwest City bans parking or storing RVs, boats, and trailers on residential lots unless they sit in the rear yard, or the front yard clear of the right-of-way.

Recreational vehicles, which specifically includes...boats and boat trailers, shall not be parked or stored on any lot occupied by a dwelling or any lot in any residential district except in accordance with the following provisions: (1) Recreational vehicles shall be stored in the rear yard of a residential lot whenever reasonable access to said rear yard is available. Recreational vehicles may be stored in the front yard...provided that no portion of the vehicle(s) extends over or into the street right-of-way.

Full Breakdown

Under Code § 24-201(e), motorized homes, camping trailers, pick-up campers, travel trailers, boats and boat trailers cannot be parked or stored on a residential lot except as the section allows: stored in the rear yard whenever reasonable access exists, or in the front yard if no part of the vehicle extends over or into the street right-of-way. A wood or cyclone fence around the rear yard does not count as denying reasonable access, so it cannot be used to justify front-yard storage instead. Front- or side-yard storage that creates a traffic hazard or blocks the corner-lot sight triangle is separately barred. Living in a stored RV is a distinct offense unless the owner holds a special revocable permit tied to rebuilding a residence on the lot.

Violations & Fines

Unlawful parking/storage under § 24-201; separately, occupying a stored RV without a city-issued revocable permit is an offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my boat trailer in my Midwest City driveway?
A driveway isn't automatically exempt, § 24-201(e) requires rear-yard storage when reasonably accessible; front-yard storage is allowed only if no part extends into the street right-of-way.
Can someone live in an RV parked at their house?
Not without a special revocable permit tied to rebuilding a permanent residence on that lot, per § 24-201(e)(3).
