Full Breakdown

Recreational-vehicle parking on Orem streets is restricted by two provisions of Orem City Code Chapter 19, Article 3. Section 19-3-5 makes it unlawful to park or keep any trailer, unattached camper, or boat on a public street for a period exceeding seventy-two (72) hours. Section 19-3-4 makes it unlawful to park, on a public street in any residential zone, any vehicle or trailer (or combination) having an overall length of twenty-five feet (25') or more or which exceeds a rated capacity of one and one-half (1.5) tons; in commercial or industrial zones the same vehicles are barred between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. Exceptions apply when a vehicle is actively involved in permitted construction, landscaping, or other work at a specific site, during an emergency, or when owned and operated by government for governmental purposes. A motorhome or boat over 25 feet therefore cannot legally sit on a residential street, and shorter recreational units are limited to 72 hours.

Violations & Fines

RVs, boats, campers, or trailers left beyond the limits are subject to citation under Orem City Code 19-3-4 or 19-3-5 and may be impounded under Chapter 19, Article 4.
