In unincorporated Kootenai County, major recreational equipment and utility trailers can't sit on any public or private road longer than 24 hours. A visitor's RV may park on a resident's property up to 30 days per calendar year. Cities (Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden) set their own rules.
The Kootenai County Land Use and Development Code (Title 8, Article 4.7 Parking) treats motor homes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, camping trailers, truck campers and utility trailers as 'major recreational equipment.' Such equipment may not be parked or stored on any public or private road for longer than 24 hours. Equipment brought by a visitor may be parked or occupied on the resident's property for a period not to exceed 30 days per calendar year while visiting. Residents may generally keep their own RV or boat on their lot, subject to setback and outdoor-storage standards. Inside city limits the city zoning code governs instead.
Enforced by the Community Development / Code Enforcement office (208-446-1070) as a zoning violation; typically notice-and-abate. Right-of-way issues go to the local highway district.
