Lucas County itself sets no countywide RV or boat parking rule. In unincorporated townships, land use is set by township zoning (ORC Ch. 519); inside Toledo and other cities, the municipal zoning code governs. Toledo limits residential RV/boat storage by setback and license condition.
There is no single Lucas County ordinance governing where residents may keep RVs, boats, campers or utility trailers. Under Ohio law the unincorporated parts of the county are zoned by each township (Sylvania, Springfield, Washington, Monclova, etc.) using their authority under ORC Chapter 519, and incorporated cities zone their own limits. In Toledo, the zoning code (TMC 1107.1802) requires recreational vehicles and equipment to sit behind the front building line on premises with an occupied home, keeps them out of required side setbacks, and bars storing an RV more than one year without a current Ohio license. Always check your specific township or city code.
Enforced by the city or township that adopted the rule (zoning/property-maintenance citation). Lucas County does not issue RV-parking citations for private property.
