Sahuarita restricts the parking and storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential areas. Vehicles must typically be stored behind the front building line and may require screening from street view.
The Sahuarita zoning code regulates the storage of recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, and similar equipment on residential properties. RVs, boats on trailers, travel trailers, and utility trailers generally must be parked behind the front building line, meaning they cannot be stored in front yards or driveways for extended periods. Screening from public view using fencing, walls, or landscaping may be required depending on the zoning district. Vehicles must be properly registered and in operable condition. Inoperable RVs or boats that have flat tires, expired registration, or visible deterioration may be classified as junk vehicles subject to code enforcement action. On-street parking of RVs, boats, and trailers is typically limited to 72 hours for loading and unloading purposes. Rancho Sahuarita HOA CC&Rs are significantly stricter than Town Code, often prohibiting RV and boat storage on any lot regardless of screening, and requiring owners to use off-site storage facilities. Other Sahuarita HOAs may have similar restrictions. The CC&Rs in planned communities are the primary enforcement mechanism for RV and boat storage complaints.
Town Code Enforcement for zoning violations. HOA fines and lien authority for CC&R violations. Vehicles subject to removal if on public streets beyond time limits.
