Salem restricts RV and boat parking in residential areas through its zoning code. Recreational vehicles must be stored on private property and may need screening from public view.
Salem's Unified Development Code (UDC) restricts storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers in residential zones. These vehicles should be stored on private property. Street storage is subject to the 72-hour parking limit. RVs and boats stored on residential property should ideally be in side or rear yards. Inoperable vehicles must be stored in enclosed structures. The city may require screening of stored RVs and boats from public view in some zones.
Non-compliant storage results in code enforcement notices. Street-parked RVs exceeding 72 hours may be cited and towed.
