RV, camper and boat storage on residential lots in Shawnee is governed by zoning, which limits placement (typically an approved surface in the side/rear yard or driveway) and prohibits use as living quarters.
Shawnee lets you keep an RV, camper or boat at home, but zoning controls how. The typical rule: the vehicle sits on an approved surface, in the side or rear yard or on the driveway — not on the lawn or in random corners of the lot. Using a parked RV as living quarters is prohibited; storage and habitation are different things under the code. Kansas doesn't preempt local rules here, so Shawnee's standards are what govern. Before buying a large rig, measure your usable side yard and driveway against the placement rules — many lots simply don't fit one legally.
