Norfolk prohibits parking of RVs, boats, and trailers on residential streets overnight. On private property, RVs and boats must be stored in rear or side yard behind front building line, on improved surface. Given Norfolk waterfront, boat storage enforcement is active citywide.
Under Norfolk Zoning Ordinance, recreational vehicles, boats, boat trailers, and utility trailers may not be stored in the front yard or street setback of any residential lot. They must be located behind the front building line, on a dustless improved surface (concrete, asphalt, or pavers), and may not exceed certain size limits in the R-zones. Street parking of RVs and boats on public rights-of-way overnight is prohibited under Norfolk City Code §40. Short-term loading/unloading (typically up to 48 hours) is permitted. HOA covenants commonly impose stricter rules in newer subdivisions like Ocean View and East Beach. Given Norfolk large boating community, marina storage at Willoughby Harbor, Waterside, and Little Creek is the preferred compliant option.
First violation: written notice and 10 days to remove. Continued: $100-$250 civil penalty, potential tow for street violations.
