Walker County, GA Parking Rules: RV & Boat Parking (2026)

Walker County's zoning code adds 2 separate R-1 restrictions on trailers and recreational vehicles, both listed alongside the district's other single-family rules. First, no trailer, semi-trailer, truck bed, truck trailer, travel trailer, recreational vehicle, mobile home, or any part of one, whether it can still be moved or not, may be used as a storage building on an R-1 lot; a homeowner cannot convert a parked camper or horse trailer into extra storage space. Second, no one may live in a camper, travel trailer, recreational vehicle or similar mobile housing while it sits in R-1, though the code carves out an exception addressed separately in § 22-390.

Both rules sit inside the same list of R-1-only conditions that also caps accessory buildings to the rear yard, requires new homes to match the character of an established subdivision, limits heavy vehicles to 1 per resident, and requires junk vehicles to stay out of sight from the county road. The code does not set a separate rule for boats specifically; a boat or boat trailer parked in a driveway falls outside these 2 provisions unless it is converted to a storage use or occupied as housing. Walker County Planning and Development enforces both restrictions as part of its zoning complaint and inspection process.
