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

Town Code Section 9-7-6, Parking of Oversized Conveyances, Vehicles, Trucks, Trailers, and Equipment, includes a specific 48-hour limit for personal recreational conveyances: no person may park a recreational vehicle, bus, boat, utility trailer, animal trailer, camping trailer, ATV/UTV/motorcycle hauler, or other type of trailer on a residential street, except for the purpose of loading and unloading, and even then not for more than forty-eight hours. This is a distinct clause within the same section that separately caps heavy commercial equipment and vehicles over 16,000 pounds GVWR to two hours on any street; the 48-hour allowance is reserved for personal recreational gear on residential streets specifically.

As with the commercial-vehicle clause, the section flatly bars anyone from inhabiting any of the listed conveyances while parked on the street, so an RV cannot be used as temporary residential space during its loading window. The provision was added and amended by Ordinance 823-23 on November 1, 2023. It sits in the same Article as Section 9-7-8, which separately requires that a boat, camper, RV, or other conveyance stored on someone else's private property display the property owner's written permission in public view. Enforcement runs through the Queen Creek Police Department and other Authorized Enforcement Agents under Section 9-1-1, and a violation is a Civil Offense under the townwide schedule in Section 9-21-2(C): $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second within 12 months, and $2,000 for a third within that period.
