Rockville requires an oversized vehicle permit under Section 23-27 for RVs in residential zones. Vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVW need a $190 permit and must park on paved surfaces.
Under Rockville City Code Chapter 23, Section 23-27, any vehicle in a residential zone that has a rated-load capacity exceeding 3/4 ton (but not greater than one ton) or a gross vehicle weight rating exceeding 10,000 lbs (but not greater than 13,000 lbs) must obtain an oversized vehicle permit. The application requires a completed form listing vehicle information, a copy of current vehicle registration, side and rear view photographs showing the license plate, a $150 application fee, and a $40 permit fee totaling $190. RVs, boats on trailers, and large utility trailers typically fall under this requirement. All vehicles on a property must be parked on an approved surface such as concrete or asphalt, not on grass or dirt. Vehicles must not block sidewalks, driveways, or sight-line triangles at intersections. Certain planned development communities such as King Farm have additional HOA restrictions that prohibit visible storage of boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles entirely.
Parking an oversized vehicle without a valid permit in a residential zone is a traffic violation under Chapter 23. Vehicles parked on unapproved surfaces or obstructing sidewalks may receive additional citations from Community Enhancement Code Enforcement.
