RV and boat parking on Oneida County residential lots is generally allowed with town setback rules (typically side or rear yard, 5-10 ft from property line). No living in RVs as permanent residence. Mohawk River and Oneida Lake boat storage is common.
Oneida County has no countywide zoning. Each town sets its own RV/boat standards. Town of New Hartford Code 130-40 allows one RV/boat per residential lot in side or rear yard, minimum 5 ft from side line and 10 ft from rear line. Town of Whitestown Code 175-23 similarly restricts to rear/side yard. City of Utica Zoning Chapter 2-23 prohibits RV storage in front yards in R-1 and R-2 districts. Town of Webb (Old Forge) is more permissive given Adirondack recreation economy but prohibits occupancy over 14 consecutive days unless on a campground. Oneida Lake shoreline properties often use boat lifts and slip rental. Living in an RV as permanent residence violates NY Residential Code occupancy standards everywhere in Oneida County. Registered, operable condition required for outdoor storage.
New Hartford setback violation: $100-$250 plus correction order. Utica front-yard RV: $100 first offense, $250 repeat. Living in RV as residence: $250-$500 plus removal order under local zoning.
