The County Nuisance Code does not cap properly licensed, operational recreational vehicles, boats, or trailers on your property. There is no county rule barring RV or boat parking in unincorporated areas; check the Unified Zoning Code and your township for any local limits.
In unincorporated Sedgwick County, the Nuisance Code (County Code Ch. 19, Art. II) regulates inoperable vehicles, not properly registered ones. The county states that neither its code nor Wichita's 'places limits on the number of properly licensed and operational vehicles that you can have on your property.' A recreational vehicle, boat, or utility trailer with current registration is an operational vehicle and is not restricted by the county nuisance rule. Land-use dimensional standards fall under the joint Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Zoning Code (UZC), administered by the Metropolitan Area Planning Department; incorporated cities set their own RV parking rules.
An unregistered, inoperable RV or boat is treated as an inoperable vehicle under the Nuisance Code; report to MABCD Code Enforcement, (316) 660-9220.
