Palm Coast, FL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Palm Coast's restriction on RVs, boats, and trailers on residential property is one of the strictest in northeast Florida and traces back to the city's ITT master-planned origin. The framework lives in Chapter 44 (Traffic and Vehicles), Article II (Stopping, Standing and Parking), Section 44-34, with the swale and right-of-way overlay in Section 44-33. Recreational vehicles, motor homes, travel trailers, campers, vessels, boats, boat trailers, and utility trailers are not permitted to be parked or stored on residential home property. The November 18-19, 2025 second-reading amendment to Section 44-34(c) created a narrow allowance for one qualifying work truck per residential property but explicitly preserved the RV, boat, and utility trailer prohibitions and the oversized-vehicle cap (more than 9 feet high or more than 20 feet long is not allowed on residential property). Section 44-33 separately prohibits parking of private passenger or recreational vehicles in the paved rights-of-way of city roads at any time (except in defined emergencies), and prohibits parking in unpaved rights-of-way - including swales and medians - between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Storage of an RV or boat on the front-yard driveway, on the lawn, or in the swale therefore violates either the residential parking standard or the right-of-way standard, or both. Florida HB 1203, effective July 1, 2024, limits how Florida HOAs (not the city) can restrict a parcel owner's personal vehicles, boats, and recreational vehicles, but does not override Palm Coast's city-level ban on RVs, boats, and trailers on residential property.
