South Jordan, UT Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Under South Jordan's zoning ordinance (Title 17), recreational vehicles, boats, utility trailers, and similar equipment may be stored on residential lots but must generally be located in a side or rear yard and meet required setbacks from property lines. Front yard storage is typically restricted — RVs and boats generally cannot be parked in the front yard except on a paved driveway and then only subject to size/height limits. Many South Jordan HOAs (and HOAs are extremely common in the city) prohibit RV/boat storage entirely or require concealment behind a fence. On public streets, recreational vehicles are subject to the 48-hour parking rule and may only be parked longer for active loading/unloading (typically up to 72 hours with common enforcement discretion). RVs cannot be used as a dwelling or for overnight occupancy while parked on a residential street or in a driveway. Screening with a solid fence (typically 6 feet) is often required when RVs are visible from the street. Violations can be reported to Code Enforcement and may result in warnings, citations, and ultimately towing of vehicles parked in public right-of-way.
