St. Johns County requires recreational vehicles, boats, and utility trailers to be parked or stored in a rear or side yard. In the Ponte Vedra Zoning District they cannot be visible at all, and HOAs and CDDs often add stricter covenants.
County code requires all recreational vehicles, boats, and utility trailers on residential lots to be kept in a required rear or side yard, not the front yard, and none may be used for living, sleeping, or housekeeping. The Ponte Vedra Zoning District goes further, barring recreational vehicles from being visible on the property. Some Planned Unit Developments and older platted subdivisions such as St. Augustine South set their own front and side setbacks. On top of county rules, master-planned communities like Nocatee and coastal HOAs commonly prohibit RV and boat storage outright, sending owners to off-site storage lots.
A parking or storage violation brings a county code-enforcement notice with a cure period, then Special Magistrate fines up to $1,000 per day for first violations and up to $5,000 per day for repeat offenders.
