Vestavia Hills' zoning ordinance regulates vehicle storage in residential districts. RVs and recreational vehicles are subject to accessory use regulations. Parking in front yards may be restricted per zoning district requirements.
Vestavia Hills municipal code prohibits front-yard and driveway storage of recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers. RVs and boats must be kept in enclosed garages or fully screened rear yard areas not visible from the street or neighboring properties. The city's upscale suburban character and strong HOA governance mean most subdivisions have additional restrictions. Liberty Park, Altadena Valley, Rocky Ridge, and Cahaba Heights HOAs frequently prohibit all visible RV and boat storage. Vehicles must be currently registered. Temporary loading and unloading for trip preparation permitted.
Written notice: 7-day correction. $100 to $250 per violation. Towing for chronic non-compliance.
