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

Section 6-4(b) does not ban parking or storing a camping or recreational vehicle on residential property in unincorporated Whitfield County; it bans occupying one. The vehicle cannot be used for living, sleeping, or housekeeping at any time it is parked or stored, with a single exception carved out for construction: a homeowner building or remodeling a single-family home may apply for a temporary RV permit. The county's actual permit standard, at Section 5-129, requires a current building permit for the house under construction, caps occupancy at five people or the RV's rated capacity, requires the lot to be at least two acres and zoned GA, SA, R-2, or R-5 outside any platted subdivision, and requires the RV to connect to electrical service and either city water and sewer or an approved septic system, plus carry a charged fire extinguisher and working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Only one RV per dwelling under construction is allowed. 00 fee, a pre-issuance site inspection, and a 12-month maximum term that ends early if a certificate of occupancy issues or a stop work order is entered. The ordinance's own cross-reference in 6-4(b)(i) points to 'Section 5-128,' though the numbered permit standard actually sits at 5-129 and 5-130. The code does not separately address boat parking or storage on residential lots; only camping and recreational vehicles are covered by this restriction.
