Safety Harbor allows residents to store recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on their property only when located in a side or rear yard, set back at least five feet from the lot line, and screened from neighbors with an opaque fence or hedge.
Under Safety Harbor's land development regulations, recreational vehicles include motorhomes, travel trailers, boats, boat trailers, houseboats, horse vans, slide-in or pop-up campers, and similar equipment. RVs must be parked in a side or rear yard, no closer than five feet to a lot line, and must be screened from adjoining residential properties by a six-foot-tall opaque fence or hedge. Front-yard storage is generally prohibited except for short-term loading and unloading. Code Enforcement publishes a brochure illustrating these limits because the allowable size also depends on lot dimensions. Owners should verify setbacks before installing pads or shelters.
Violations are handled through Safety Harbor Code Enforcement, which may issue a notice of violation, require corrective action, and refer continuing offenses to the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate for fines.
