Full Breakdown

' Subsection (2) bars storing or parking any recreational vehicle, boat, float, raft, camping or travel trailer, or detachable travel equipment on a public street, utility right-of-way or easement, with a narrow exception letting a motor home sit on a street for up to three days. Subsection (3) governs private-property storage: a recreational unit may be kept outdoors on a residential lot for longer than one week only if it is owned, rented or leased by the property's owner or occupant and currently licensed; no more than one recreational vehicle and one utility trailer may be stored outdoors at a time; and storage must be in the rear yard, or the side yard if the rear is inaccessible, at least three feet from the side lot line and 12 feet from the neighboring dwelling.

Stored units cannot exceed 32 feet in length or 12 feet in height, must be kept in good repair, cannot be used for living or lodging, and disassembled component parts cannot be stored in the open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not for long-term storage. Sec. 90-314(3) requires recreational-vehicle and boat storage on residential property to be in the rear yard, or side yard if the rear is inaccessible, at least three feet from the side lot line, not the driveway or front yard.
How long can I leave my RV parked on the street?
Only a motor home may sit on a public street, and only for up to three days under Sec. 90-314(2). Other recreational vehicles, boats and trailers may not be parked or stored on a street, right-of-way or easement at all.
How many RVs can I keep at my house?
One recreational vehicle and one utility trailer, per Sec. 90-314(3)(c). Anything beyond that combination stored outdoors on a residential lot in Wyoming violates the zoning code.

Yes. Sec. 90-314(3)(c) caps outdoor-stored recreational vehicles and trailers at 32 feet in length and 12 feet in total height.
