Phila. Code §12-919 limits motor homes, boats, truck campers, and similar large vehicles to 15 days of on-street parking on any single block.
Philadelphia zoning code regulates storage of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and oversized vehicles on residential property. Front yard storage is typically prohibited. Side and rear yard storage may be allowed with proper screening (fence, hedge). Vehicles must be currently registered and in operable condition. PA has no statewide street parking time limit, so on-street RV parking follows local rules. Some municipalities limit total stored vehicles on a property.
Code enforcement notice with correction period. Fines $50 to $500/day after notice. Towing for street violations where applicable.
