Jackson County, MS Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

14, Parking or Storage of Major Recreational Equipment, defines major recreational equipment to include boats, boat trailers, travel trailers, campers or camper trucks, coaches, motorized dwellings, or similar equipment. That equipment cannot be parked or stored in a required front yard anywhere in the unincorporated county. The section also bars using any such equipment for living, sleeping, or housekeeping purposes on any lot, unless it sits in an approved location, meaning casual overnight use of a parked RV as a residence is not permitted by default.

14 adds a narrower rule for equipment used in parades: it can only be worked on during the two weeks before and the one week after the event, and parade equipment can never be parked or stored in a residential district at any time, a stricter standard than the general front-yard limit that applies to recreational vehicles generally. This section is grouped with the county's other Article 6 use-specific limits, following the off-street loading, open storage and mobile vendor rules, and precedes the county's temporary Christmas tree sales lot standards. 14 and falls to the district's general accessory-structure and setback rules instead.
