Scottsdale's code enforcement and HOA CC&Rs heavily restrict RV parking in residential areas. RVs and boats are generally required to be stored behind opaque fencing or in enclosed structures. Most Scottsdale HOAs prohibit visible RV storage entirely.
Scottsdale regulates RV and recreational vehicle storage through zoning code and property maintenance provisions. In most residential areas, RVs, boats, and trailers must be screened from public view, typically behind six-foot opaque fencing or stored in enclosed garages. Scottsdale's extensive HOA governance means that most neighborhoods have CC&Rs prohibiting visible RV and boat parking more strictly than city code. Vehicles parked on residential streets are subject to SRC Chapter 17, Article V time limits and restrictions. The Zoning Ordinance (Appendix B) establishes property development standards that effectively prohibit front-yard RV storage in most residential districts. Code enforcement actively monitors RV parking complaints, particularly in upscale neighborhoods where visible recreational vehicles are considered inconsistent with neighborhood character.
Code enforcement citation. Fine varies by violation. HOA CC&R violations enforced separately with potential daily fines. Vehicle may be towed if parked on street in violation.
