St. Louis limits RV and boat storage on residential streets to 24 hours. On-lot RV and boat parking generally allowed behind the front building line, not in front yards. Trailers over a certain length require off-street screened storage.
Revised Code Chapter 17 prohibits parking recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers on public streets for more than 24 hours in residential districts. On private property, the Zoning Code (Title XXVI) regulates where RVs and boats may be stored: permitted in rear or side yards behind the front building line, preferably on improved surface, and not used as a dwelling. Front-yard storage of RVs and boats is generally prohibited in single-family districts. HOAs and neighborhood associations (common in Compton Heights, Lafayette Square, etc.) often impose stricter rules. No overnight habitation of an RV on a residential lot is permitted even if properly stored.
Street violation: $20 ticket. Zoning violations receive notice with 30 days to cure; continued violation $100-$500 per day.
