New Castle County does not have specific county-wide RV or boat storage rules for unincorporated residential areas, but zoning (UDC Chapter 40) may restrict front yard storage of large vehicles.
The New Castle County UDC (Chapter 40) may restrict the storage of RVs, boats, and trailers in residential front yards as part of general property maintenance and aesthetic standards. Deed restrictions in many developments impose additional limits. Vehicles on public roads are subject to the 72-hour abandonment rule under state law.
Zoning and deed restriction violations can result in code enforcement notices.
