In the unincorporated county, the Zoning Ordinance limits residential lots to one travel or camping trailer, which may not be lived in unless in an authorized manufactured-home park. Cities set their own rules.
Greenville County's Zoning Ordinance (Sec. 9:5.1) governs recreational-vehicle storage on residentially zoned parcels in the unincorporated county. Only one travel or camping trailer is permitted per lot, and it cannot be occupied temporarily or permanently while parked or stored, except within an authorized manufactured-home park. Boats and RVs also fall under general vehicle-storage and nuisance rules; wrecked, disassembled, or inoperable boats and vehicles trigger screening/junkyard requirements. Inside Greenville, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Travelers Rest, or Fountain Inn, the city's own zoning code applies instead of the county ordinance.
Zoning violations are handled by Code Enforcement (864.467.7090); noncompliance can bring notices, daily civil penalties, and municipal-court fines.
