Tazewell County, IL Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

054 sets parking counts by district. On A-1 or A-2 zoned parcels of 40 acres or less that are not in a platted subdivision, an owner may park or store up to four operable recreational vehicles outdoors, each at least three feet from a side or rear property line and behind the front-yard setback (A). Anywhere inside a platted subdivision, regardless of its zoning, and on any R-1, R-2, or Rural Residential parcel, the cap drops to three operable recreational vehicles accessory to a residence (B), each still held at least three feet from a side or rear property line when stored in a side or rear yard (D).

A utility trailer that is itself carrying another recreational vehicle counts as only one vehicle toward the cap (C). Occupying a recreational vehicle as a dwelling is not allowed outside a licensed recreational vehicle park, with one exception: a bona fide guest of the property owner may live in an RV parked on the premises, but for no more than 60 days in a calendar year (E). In the A-1, A-2, and Conservation districts, a resident may also keep an RV on the land purely for recreational use, not habitation, as a seasonal use, provided it does not degrade neighboring property values, adequate water supply and sewage disposal are in place, and the County Health Department signs off (F). These are outdoor storage counts and setbacks only; they do not authorize year-round RV habitation outside a recreational vehicle park.
