Lee County's LDC does not cap RVs, boats, or non-commercial recreational trailers parked at a home, but trailers over a 15,000-lb combined GVWR are restricted in residential zones. Live-aboards and commercial storage of boats/RVs are separately regulated. Check any HOA or deed restrictions too.
Under LDC Sec. 34-1181, recreational trailers are exempted from the truck/commercial-vehicle ban that applies to AG, RS, RM, MH, RV, and PUD residential zoning, so a household RV, boat trailer, or camper is generally allowed on your own lot. A truck-and-trailer combination is only restricted if it exceeds a 15,000-lb combined manufacturer GVWR. Commercial storage yards for boats and RVs are separately governed (Sec. 34-1352, 34-765), and living aboard a vessel moored to residential property is prohibited outside a marina under Sec. 34-1861. Recreational-vehicle parks store unoccupied RVs off-lot under Sec. 34-765.
Code Enforcement handles residential-zone violations. Illegally stored commercial vehicles/trailers may be cited and towed at the owner's expense after a written removal notice.
