Full Breakdown

Section 10-19-4(A)(6) of the St. George City Code bans parking any vehicle on front lawns, sidewalks, required landscape area, front setback, or street-side setback areas. The zoning title's own definition of "vehicle" -- any motorized transport or any trailer -- reaches RVs, camp trailers, and boat trailers, not just cars. Two paved exceptions apply: the vehicle may sit in the front setback if it's on an approved paved surface, or in the side front setback area if that area is gravel. A resident storing an RV or boat trailer at home has to keep it on the hard driveway surface or a gravel side strip, never on the grass.

Violations & Fines

St. George code enforcement can order an improperly parked RV, trailer, or boat off the lawn and cite the property owner for a zoning violation until it's moved to a compliant surface.
