Full Breakdown
In AG, AG-R, R and MX districts, Tulsa's zoning code confines RV and boat-trailer parking to a garage, a rear setback (3+ feet off all lot lines), a side yard outside the required side setback, or a side setback if the RV is 6 feet tall or less and screened with an F1 fence. Street-yard parking needs the development administrator's sign-off that no side or rear space is reasonably available, and even then only one RV, parked perpendicular to the street and 12+ feet from the curb. The RV can't be lived in, hooked to utilities, or used to store non-RV goods. A boat on a trailer counts as one recreational vehicle. Loading and unloading elsewhere is allowed for up to 48 hours.
Violations & Fines
Zoning enforcement can order the RV or boat trailer relocated or removed; unresolved violations proceed as a zoning code case that can carry municipal court fines.
