Full Breakdown

Springdale Code of Ordinances § 114-57 bans parking or leaving a boat, recreational vehicle, all-terrain vehicle, trailer, or utility trailer on any residential lot inside the city, unless it sits in the rear yard at least eight feet from the rear line, or in a side yard that doesn't project past the house's front roofline. Front-yard placement is allowed only on the driveway or its paved extension, and never closer than ten feet to the paved street edge. Owners may keep no more than two such units on a lot (one if it sits between the street and the dwelling), and none may double as street-side storage for more than 24 hours.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the two-unit cap, encroaching on the yard setbacks, or leaving a boat/RV/trailer on a public street beyond 24 hours violates § 114-57 and is fined under Chapter 114's general penalty, § 1-9.
