Recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, motorhomes, and similar equipment may only be parked or stored on residential premises in established side-yard, rear-yard, carport, or enclosed-building locations. Temporary parking elsewhere on the property is allowed for up to 24 hours during loading and unloading.
Roswell's Code Enforcement Division applies the property-maintenance and zoning provisions to RV and boat storage. Permitted long-term storage locations are side or rear yards, inside a carport, or inside an enclosed building - never in the front yard or visible from the public right-of-way as a permanent location. A 24-hour loading/unloading exemption lets owners park an RV in the driveway long enough to pack up before a trip or clean up after one. On public streets the same 10-continuous-hour limit that applies to passenger cars under Roswell Code §22.4.1 applies to RVs and boat trailers, effectively banning overnight street storage. HOAs and subdivision covenants often impose tighter rules.
RV/boat storage in a prohibited location is a code violation generating notice-of-violation correspondence from Code Enforcement. Failure to relocate within the compliance window leads to citation in Municipal Court with fines up to $1,000. Street-stored vehicles exceeding 10 continuous hours can be cited and towed under §22.4.1.
