Redmond restricts on-street RV and boat parking to 72 hours and regulates driveway storage under RMC Title 21. Many zones limit the number of recreational vehicles visible from the street.
Under Redmond Municipal Code Title 10 and zoning rules in RMC Title 21, recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers parked on a public street are subject to the same 72-hour limit as other vehicles under RCW 46.55. Storage of RVs, boats, and travel trailers on private residential property is generally allowed in a driveway, side yard, or rear yard, but they may not be used for living quarters except for brief guest stays. Many neighborhoods, especially Education Hill, Grass Lawn, and Idylwood, limit the number of recreational vehicles stored visibly on a single residential lot and require setbacks from the front property line. RVs must not block the sidewalk or overhang into the right-of-way. Extended guest RV occupancy generally requires a temporary permit, and connecting an RV to sewer or water on a residential lot for permanent living is prohibited. Boats and trailers should be kept in operable condition to avoid junk-vehicle code violations.
