Navajo County, AZ Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 1913 governs the storage of Manufactured Homes, Mobile Homes, Recreational Vehicles, aircraft, or boats outside of designated Manufactured Home Parks, RV Parks, or Manufactured Home Subdivisions. Three rules apply: first, a stored Manufactured Home, RV, aircraft, or boat can never be occupied or used for living, sleeping, or housekeeping purposes, no matter how long it sits on the lot. Second, if the vehicle or vessel is stored outside a garage or carport, it cannot be placed within the front yard setback, with a narrow exception allowing placement there for loading and unloading for no more than twenty-four hours.

Third, a Manufactured Home or Mobile Home cannot be stored on a parcel that has no principal dwelling on it, closing off using a vacant lot purely as vehicle storage. This is separate from the county's Article 15 rules on RVs used as an actual dwelling, which run through seasonal and temporary RV permits, and from Section 1910's construction-related temporary RV placement, which allows an RV on site only during active construction for up to a year with renewals. Owners in Rim-country subdivisions who keep a boat or travel trailer at a cabin should also note Section 1914 separately bans locating a mobile home twenty years old or older anywhere in the unincorporated county as of March 1, 2024, unless HUD-rehabilitation certified.
