Orangeburg County, SC Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

8, Storage and Use of Campers or Recreational Vehicles in Residential Zones, targets any RV or boat in excess of 17 feet: it shall not be parked or stored in any required front or side yard setback area or within five feet of the property line in the RS or RG Zones. Two exceptions soften that rule. First, the vehicle may be parked anywhere on the lot, setback or not, for up to 24 hours while it is being loaded or unloaded. Second, an RV may be used for temporary lodging on the property for up to seven days, covering visiting family or a contractor's camper during a renovation, for example.

9 adds a separate, ownership-based condition for storage of travel trailers and RVs in all residential districts, not just RS/RG: storage is permitted only if the vehicle is owned by the lot's owner or by the lot's tenant, and only if that owner or tenant actually resides in a home on or adjacent to the lot. That closes off using a residential lot to store a trailer for someone who does not live there. 9 was adopted by Ordinance No. 2025-04-21-11 on April 21, 2025, and its violations and penalties are handled, per subsection G, under the county's general penalty provision. 8 setback rule at all, only the larger units the section targets by name.
