Full Breakdown

Ogden City Code splits RV, trailer and boat parking into two rules covering yards and streets. Under section 10-5-29, it is unlawful to park a motor vehicle, trailer or boat in the "front yard area" of residential property, defined as the open space between the building line and the street lot line across the full width of the lot. The exception in subsection C lets owners park on a concrete or asphalt slab or a driveway that leads to legal parking at the rear or side of the building, provided that slab or driveway meets the Zoning Title's requirements, either under current standards or as a lawful nonconforming use.

Separately, section 10-5-23 targets larger units left on the street: a "restricted recreational vehicle" is one with a body height of 7 feet or more, a body width of 8 feet or more, or a body length of 20 feet or more, covering travel trailers, camping trailers, truck campers, motor homes, fifth-wheel trailers and vans. Such a vehicle cannot be parked, placed or stored on any residential street for longer than 24 hours, and moving it within the same block during that period still counts as a violation. Parking a restricted recreational vehicle within 30 feet of an intersection is also barred. 00 civil penalty tier.

Violations & Fines

Front-yard RV/trailer/boat parking (10-5-29) and street storage of an oversized recreational vehicle beyond 24 hours (10-5-23) both draw a $115.00 civil penalty under section 10-6-1, cut to $35 if paid within 15 days of the notice or $75 within 30 days. Owners are strictly liable for the vehicle regardless of who parked it, and citations can be appealed to a mayor-appointed hearing officer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park my boat in my front yard in Ogden?
No. Section 10-5-29 makes it unlawful to park a motor vehicle, trailer or boat in the front yard area of residential property. You can still park on a compliant concrete or asphalt driveway or slab that leads to legal parking at the rear or side of the house.
How long can an RV sit on a residential street in Ogden?
A "restricted recreational vehicle" (7 feet tall, 8 feet wide or 20 feet long or larger) cannot be parked, placed or stored on a residential street for more than 24 hours under section 10-5-23, and shuffling it within the same block still counts against that limit.
What is the fine for illegal RV or boat parking in Ogden?
Section 10-6-1 sets a $115.00 civil penalty for both the front-yard parking violation and the 24-hour street storage violation, with reductions of $80 for payment within 15 days and $40 for payment within 30 days of the notice date.
