Taylorsville, UT Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Taylorsville City Code section 11.20.055, Parking of Recreational Vehicles or Travel Trailers, opens with a general prohibition: no recreational vehicle or travel trailer may be parked or stored anywhere within the city except as the section itself allows. On a public street, the code gives owners a narrow window: a recreational vehicle or travel trailer may be parked there for up to 24 consecutive hours. That mirrors the citywide 24 hour cap on any vehicle or trailer left on a street or highway under section 11.20.080, which also bars parking during snow or ice accumulation until the surface is cleared.

Off the street, the rule opens up considerably: an RV or travel trailer may sit on private property indefinitely with the permission of the property owner or representative, as long as doing so does not violate any other ordinance or law, such as a zoning setback or a homeowners' restriction. The code defines a recreational vehicle broadly in section 11.20.020 to include a travel trailer, camping trailer, fifth wheel trailer or motor home, provided it is a temporary dwelling unit for travel or vacation use that does not require a special highway movement permit.

The section traces to Ordinance 09-12 (adopted March 18, 2009) and was amended by Ordinance 26-05 on April 15, 2026. Because 11.20.055 carries no penalty clause of its own, violations fall back on the citywide default in section 1.08.020: a conviction is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in the county jail, a fine under $1,000, or both, unless a more specific classification applies. Officers may also order an illegally parked unit moved under section 11.20.120.
