South Fulton, GA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Section 3-6009(a) caps residential lots at two business vehicles and two recreational vehicles; no RV may exceed 45 feet, and each must sit entirely within a garage or carport, or on a side- or rear-yard pad of concrete, asphalt or grasscrete sized to the vehicle and connected to a paved driveway. An RV may be plugged into an outlet but not occupied, must sit at least five feet off the side lot line and ten feet off the rear line, and can't create a demonstrable traffic hazard or safety threat.

Section 3-6009(b) applies the same storage-surface, driveway-adjacency and five-foot/ten-foot setback rules to boats and other watercraft, but caps them at 30 feet rather than 45. Beyond the two-RV/two-boat allowance, § 3-6009(c) separately bans parking specific heavy vehicles on a residential lot or city right-of-way at all, except for permitted construction work: commercial vehicles over 30 feet, those rated above 18,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, vehicles on more than two axles or six wheels, semi-trailers, and named equipment like dump trucks, wreckers, tow trucks, cement trucks, cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, excavators and buses.

Section 3-6009(d) separately bans keeping junk vehicles on any premises or public right-of-way, subject to immediate impound by South Fulton police, unless the vehicle sits fully enclosed in a building while being reconditioned for personal use, or the lot is properly zoned to store such vehicles.
