Queen Creek, AZ Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Two separate Queen Creek rules cover recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers. On the public side, Town Code Section 9-7-6 (Trailer or Semi-Trailer Parking) makes it unlawful for any trailer or semi-trailer designed to be drawn behind a motor vehicle to be parked on a street, alley, or other public right-of-way for longer than two hours; a longer stay is allowed only for a commercial vehicle actively carrying out a lawful commercial purpose. A boat on a trailer falls under this trailer limit. On the private/residential side, the Town's Zoning Ordinance controls storage of RVs and boats on the property itself. Under that ordinance the Town generally permits no more than one recreational vehicle parked for short- or long-term purposes, except that lots zoned R1-35 of one acre or larger may store more than one. RVs must be kept behind the required front-yard setback and, where possible, screened from view using masonry walls, solid gates, and landscaping. Town Code Section 9-7-1 also makes it a Class 3 misdemeanor to park on private property or a private driveway without the owner's consent. A violation of the trailer parking rule is a civil traffic offense, and the vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense under Section 9-7-10.
