Richmond prohibits parking or storing recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on residential streets for more than 24 hours and restricts driveway storage to the side or rear yard under zoning setback rules.
Richmond City Code 27-200 prohibits parking trailers, RVs, or boats on any city street for more than 24 consecutive hours. On private property, recreational vehicles must be stored behind the front building line in most residential zoning districts per Chapter 30 zoning ordinance. RVs cannot be used as living quarters on residential lots. HOAs in Richmond suburbs commonly impose stricter restrictions, often prohibiting any visible RV or boat storage.
Street parking violations carry 40 dollar tickets; repeated offenses can result in towing. Zoning violations are handled by Planning and Development Review with civil penalties up to 200 dollars per day.
