Renton Municipal Code Title 4 zoning limits RV, boat, and trailer storage in residential front yards. Street parking of RVs and boats is subject to the 72-hour limit under RCW 46.55.
Renton Municipal Code Title 4 Development Regulations governs residential parking and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and utility trailers. In most residential zones (R-4, R-6, R-8, R-10, R-14), RVs and boats may be stored on a property but are generally restricted from required front-yard setbacks and must be located in side or rear yards. Where side or rear storage is not feasible due to lot configuration, a paved or gravel surface in a designated parking area may be allowed subject to screening with a 6-foot fence or landscaping. Living in an RV as a permanent dwelling on a residential lot is prohibited under the zoning code except during active construction of a primary residence with a temporary use permit. On public streets, RVs, boats, and trailers are subject to the 72-hour parking limit under RCW 46.55, and some neighborhoods post additional restrictions. Oversized vehicles near arterials may face additional limits. Confirm zone-specific rules with Renton Planning at (425) 430-7294.
