RV, boat, and trailer storage on residential lots follows township zoning in unincorporated Scott County and each city's own code. Registration must be current; front-yard and street storage are commonly limited.
Scott County zones its townships, so RV, boat, and trailer storage in unincorporated areas follows county zoning, while Shakopee, Savage, Prior Lake, and the other cities each set their own rules. The common pattern requires recreational vehicles to sit on an improved surface, stay currently registered and operable, and be placed to the side or rear rather than the front yard, sometimes with screening. With Prior Lake, Spring Lake, and the Minnesota River nearby, boat storage is a routine issue; many owners use off-site storage over winter. Street storage of RVs and trailers is generally prohibited, and snow rules force them off the road in winter.
A zoning violation brings a written notice and correction period, then fines commonly $100 or more that can escalate per day. On-street storage is ticketed and may be towed during snow events.
