Reno limits on-street RV and boat parking to 72 hours. On private lots, RVs must be on paved or gravel surfaces, behind the front setback. Most Reno HOAs prohibit RV storage.
Under Reno Municipal Code, recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and motorhomes cannot remain parked on public streets longer than 72 hours, the same limit as passenger vehicles. On private residential property, RVs and boats are generally allowed but must be parked on an approved paved or gravel surface; parking on grass or dirt front yards is prohibited. Most residential zoning districts require RVs to be parked behind the front building line (side or rear yard) or screened from the street by a fence or wall. Hookups to city sewer are not permitted, and no one may live in an RV parked on residential property as a dwelling. Reno HOAs including Somersett, ArrowCreek, Damonte Ranch, Caughlin Ranch, and Double Diamond typically prohibit visible RV storage and limit loading or unloading to 24-72 hours. Commercial RV storage lots operate throughout the Reno-Sparks area for those without space at home.
On-street over 72 hours: citation and tow. Front-yard RV parking: code enforcement notice, daily fines until abated. Living in RV: zoning violation, abatement order.
