Nashua, NH Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Recreational-vehicle and boat-trailer parking in Nashua is regulated by Chapter 320 of the Nashua Revised Ordinances (Vehicles and Traffic), the Land Use Code at NRO Chapter 190, and New Hampshire RSA 265 (Rules of the Road). On the public street, NRO Section 320-78 (Article XIII, Night Parking) provides: 'It is unlawful for an operator of any vehicle to park the vehicle for a period longer than two hours between 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m., daily, on any public way in the City where overnight on-street permit parking is not allowed,' and 'It is unlawful for an operator of any vehicle to park the vehicle for any time period between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m., daily, without a permit on the public ways where overnight on-street permit parking is allowed.' Penalty under Section 320-78 is 'a minimum of $25. If such fine is not paid within seven days, the fine shall increase by $10, to $35.' Overnight on-street permits cost $10 per year for residents on designated permit streets (Buck Street, Railroad Square, Mulberry Street, Salem Street, Orange Street, Whitney Street, Atwood Court, Jefferson Street, Badger Street, Morgan Street and other listed segments); a maximum of 550 permits may be issued. Citywide, RSA 265:69 (Stopping, Standing or Parking Prohibited in Specified Places) provides that no vehicle (including an RV or trailer) shall stop, stand or park 'on a sidewalk,' 'within an intersection,' 'on a crosswalk,' 'within 15 feet of a fire hydrant,' 'within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection,' 'within 30 feet upon the approach to any flashing signal, stop sign, or traffic control signal,' or 'within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to any fire station and on the side of a street opposite the entrance to any fire station within 75 feet.' NRO Section 320-67 (Article XII) further provides: 'No vehicle shall be stationed, without its driver, within 15 feet of any fire hydrant upon any street,' with a fine of 'a minimum of $50.' NRO Section 320-67 also provides: 'At no time shall any vehicle be stationed in front of any private driveway, or within two feet of any private driveway on either side thereof, or across the street from any driveway so as to impede the free movement of vehicles using such private driveway,' with a fine of '$50' that increases by '$10 to $60' after seven days. New Hampshire has not enacted a statewide statute regulating residential storage of RVs, campers, or boats on private lots, so on-lot storage is governed by the Nashua Land Use Code (NRO Chapter 190) zoning setback and accessory-use provisions and, in subdivisions or condominiums, by private CC&Rs that are enforced by the association rather than the City.
