Miramar, FL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 20-49 of Miramar's parking code, covering residential-zoned properties, sets a one-item cap and location rules for recreational equipment. Subsection (c) allows no more than one trailer, one recreational vehicle, or one boat to be parked or stored on a residential lot unless additional units are kept inside a completely enclosed, roofed, and walled permanent structure, meaning a garage, not a carport or tarp. Trailers generally cannot be parked on residential property at all under subsection (d), with one exception: a boat trailer in good working condition, carrying a current license plate, which must sit on a driveway, in an enclosed garage or carport, or in the side or rear yard.

Boats get their own size limit under subsection (e): a seaworthy boat is permitted only if it does not exceed 25 feet in overall length or 7 feet in beam width, and it must likewise be kept on a driveway, in an enclosed garage or carport, or in the side or rear yard. Recreational vehicles are affirmatively permitted to be stored on residential property under subsection (f), but only on a driveway, in an enclosed garage or carport, or within a fenced rear yard, not left on a front lawn or unfenced side yard.

Subsection (i) closes the loophole for unregistered equipment, barring any unlicensed boat trailer, RV, or vehicle from being parked on public or private property regardless of these placement rules.
