Port St. Lucie restricts recreational vehicles, boats, and boat trailers (collectively major recreation equipment) to enclosed garages, paved driveways, or the side or rear of the home, subject to a ten-foot rear setback. They may not be used for living or sleeping while parked on a residential lot.
Section 73.04(B) of the City Code provides that no recreational vehicle may be parked or stored in any residential area unless it is inside an enclosed garage or structure, on a paved driveway, or to the side or rear of the principal structure while maintaining the ten-foot rear lot setback. Section 158.217 of the Zoning Code defines major recreation equipment to include boats and boat trailers, recreational vehicles, motorized dwellings, and houseboats, prohibits using such equipment for living, sleeping, or housekeeping while parked or stored on a residentially zoned lot, and allows it to be parked or stored within a residential area only in accordance with Section 73.04(B). Practically, this means RVs and boats cannot sit in the front yard or the wide side of the front yard and cannot be stored on unimproved (unpaved) ground in the front of the lot.
Recreational-vehicle and major-recreation-equipment parking violations are enforced by Neighborhood Services Code Compliance and are punishable under the Chapter 73 penalty provisions (Sec. 73.99) and the city's code-enforcement process, which can escalate to daily fines through the Special Magistrate if not corrected.
