Boats, boat trailers and recreational vehicles owned and used by a resident may be kept on a residential lot if parked to meet the single-family front and secondary-front-yard setback. They may sit in the front yard only 24 hours for loading/unloading.
Under Lake County Land Development Regulations Section 3.06.03, a single vessel, boat or recreational vehicle must be parked to meet the single-family front and secondary-front-yard setbacks; all additional vessels or RVs must be screened from the right-of-way and neighboring properties. The owner or user must be a resident of the lot. Any abandoned or derelict vessel or RV must be stored in an enclosed, permitted structure. RVs cannot be occupied as living quarters except in a designated RV park or campground (Sec. 3.01.04). Inside incorporated cities (Clermont, Leesburg, Tavares, Mount Dora, Eustis, etc.) the city's own code applies instead.
Handled as a Land Development Regulations/code-enforcement violation; a code officer issues notice to comply, and unresolved cases go to the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate with daily fines.
