Summary

In the City of Moore, Oklahoma, Section 8-417 limits residential lots to one commercial vehicle, and separately one camping trailer, travel trailer, hauling trailer, recreational vehicle or boat per family. A trailer or RV parked in front of the building line is capped at 48 hours unless it sits behind the front yard line, and it must rest on a paved surface.

Commercial vehicles, trailers of all types, including camping and hauling, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and vessels shall not be parked or stored on any lot occupied by a dwelling or on any lot in any residential district except in accordance with the following provisions: ... provided that the trailer, recreational vehicle or vessel shall not be parked or stored for more than 48 hours unless it is located behind the front yard building line. Vehicles commonly known as recreational vehicles shall be parked on a sealed surface complying with section 8-416.

Full Breakdown

The section covers any lot occupied by a dwelling or lying in a residential district. It permits no more than one commercial vehicle of 1½ tons rated capacity or less per family, and separately caps camping or travel trailers, hauling trailers, recreational vehicles and vessels at one per family living on the premises. None of these may be parked on the public street, utility area or highway. If the unit sits behind the front yard building line there is no time limit stated for that location, but if it cannot fit there and is instead parked in front of the building line, it may stay only if it creates no traffic hazard and, in either location, only for up to 48 hours unless it is positioned behind the front yard line.

Wherever parked, the RV, trailer or vessel must rest on a sealed surface meeting the paving standard of Section 8-416, the same pad-or-slab rule that governs ordinary vehicle parking. A camping trailer or RV cannot be lived in, even temporarily, anywhere inside the city limits except in a licensed mobile home park. Mobile homes themselves may only be parked or stored in a conforming mobile home park. A narrow exception lets a travel trailer or manufactured home be used as living quarters for a CLEET-certified security officer or guard stationed on the property, but only after the community development department issues an occupancy permit. The section traces to a 1993 prior-code provision and was last amended by Ordinance 476(04) in 2004.

Violations & Fines

Violations of this chapter carry the city's general penalty under Section 1-108: a fine of up to $500.00 for conduct with no specific penalty of its own, enforced through Moore Municipal Court. Because the underlying condition, an RV, trailer or extra commercial vehicle parked in violation, typically continues day to day, code enforcement can document and cite it again if it is not corrected after a first contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many RVs or boats can I keep at my Moore home?
Section 8-417 allows one camping trailer, travel trailer, hauling trailer, recreational vehicle or vessel per family living on the premises, separate from the one commercial vehicle also allowed. All must sit on a sealed surface and cannot block the street, utility area or highway.
Can I park my travel trailer in front of my house?
Only if it cannot fit behind the front yard building line, it creates no traffic hazard, and it does not stay more than 48 hours; parking behind the front building line avoids that 48-hour cap. Either way it must rest on a sealed surface meeting Section 8-416's paving standard.
Can I sleep in my RV while it's parked at my house?
No. Section 8-417 prohibits occupying a camping trailer or recreational vehicle, temporarily or permanently, anywhere inside Moore's city limits except in a licensed mobile home park, with one narrow exception for a CLEET-certified security guard's living quarters under an occupancy permit.
