Plainfield's zoning code (Ch. 17) regulates vehicle storage in residential zones. Off-street parking lots may not be used as thoroughfares. Contact the Zoning Division for specific RV storage restrictions.
Plainfield zoning code regulates storage of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and oversized vehicles on residential property. Due to NJ’s density and smaller lot sizes, restrictions are often stricter than other states. Front yard storage is typically prohibited. Side and rear yard storage may be allowed with screening. Vehicles must be registered and operable. Many NJ municipalities ban overnight street parking entirely, affecting RV street storage. Some communities prohibit RV/boat storage on residential lots altogether.
Code enforcement notice with correction period. Fines $100 to $500/day after notice. Towing for street violations.
