Summit County OH sets no countywide rule on parking RVs, campers, or boats at your home. In Akron and the county's cities, villages, and townships, RV/boat storage is governed by local zoning. Check your municipality.
Because Summit County is heavily incorporated, land-use rules for recreational-vehicle and boat storage on residential lots are set by your city, village, or township under Ohio's zoning enabling laws (ORC Chapter 519 for townships, home-rule charters for cities). Typical local rules restrict RVs/boats to side or rear yards, off the street, and limit how long a unit may sit in the driveway or right-of-way. The county itself does not license backyard RV storage. On unincorporated county roads, obstructing the right-of-way is prohibited, so a boat trailer left in the roadway can be treated as an obstruction.
No county penalty for on-lot storage; municipal zoning fines apply. Blocking a county-road right-of-way can be cited as an obstruction or, if derelict, as a junk vehicle under ORC 4513.63.
